Founded in 1993, the Baker Institute is one of the leading nonpartisan public policy think tanks in the country. As an integral part of Rice University, the institute has a strong track record of achievement based on the work of Rice faculty and the institute's endowed fellows and scholars.

The mission of the Baker Institute is to help bridge the gap between the theory and practice of public policy by drawing together experts from academia, government, media, business and nongovernmental organizations. By involving policymakers and scholars, as well as students, the institute seeks to improve the debate on selected public policy issues and to make a difference in the formulation, implementation and evaluation of public policy, both domestic and international.
