The JBI Research Advisory Council's goal is to inform policymakers, business leaders, and community organizations on how to create policies that allow families and communities to build financial resilience and wealth.

The Research Advisory Council meets on a regular basis to brainstorm and develop new strategies in key research areas. Our most recent gathering focused on steps to combat the affordability crisis.

One core component of the Institute is a new research advisory council to support research design, development, and prioritization. The council has a broad membership of academics, community members, and representatives from diverse institutions.
