Center for Applied Research on Work
CAROW exists to connect research on work with the practice of putting it to use. We support member institutes and affiliated faculty and students in their efforts to take insights about work, labor and employment and share them broadly. We are uniquely placed to seed innovative research projects and partnerships that put academic study into practice. Through training, convening, and the development of new tools, CAROW provides resources to change work for the better.
World-class researchers, from a variety of disciplines, work here at the ILR School. Through the Center for Applied Research on Work (CAROW), we support research that solves practical problems, improves the lives of workers and informs policy-making.
We serve as an incubator for applied research. We provide funding and coordination for innovative projects and initiatives. Our network of affiliated faculty, researchers, and practitioners help guide and facilitate novel approaches to advancing how we work.
Our membership includes institutes, programs and initiatives that study work and endeavor to improve the world for workers and their families, employers, and communities.
The K. Lisa Yang and Hock E. Tan CAROW WorkABILITY Incubator funds and supports innovative research that drives positive change for people who work.
CAROW members are affiliated research institutes that focus their research on effecting positive change for workers, employers and society. CAROW members bring together world-class faculty, researchers and staff from multiple disciplines to further research in their areas of expertise.
