The ChicanoLLatino P o k y Project (CLPP) is an affiliated research program of the Institute for the Study of Social Change at the University of California, Berkeley. The CLPP supports, coordinates and develops research on public policy issues related to Latinos in the United States and serves as a component unit of a multi-campus Latino policy studies program in the University of California, Berkeley. Although the CLPP's current research focus is Latino Youth, the CLPP supports and encourages the development of research from a wide range of disciplines, including, but not limited to education, health care, immigration and political participation, and labor mobility. The h t i t u t e for the Study of Social Change is an organized research unit at the University of California at Berkeley devoted to studies that will increase the understanding of the mechanisms that influence social change. ISSC has a particular mandate to conduct research and to provide research training on matters of social stratification and differentiation, including the condition of both economically and politically depressed minorities as well as the more privileged strata. The California Policy Seminar was established in 1977 as a joint effort of the University of California and state government. The CPS applies the extensive research expertise of the UC system to the analysis, development, and implementation of state policy through a variety of activities on a wide range of topics. CPS conducts two programs-policy research and technical assistance-both of which are supported by an active dissemination effort involving publications and special briefings that feature the policy-related research of UC faculty.
