The Indo-Pacific Policy Lab (IPPL) was a pilot project run during the 2023–2024 academic year to provide opportunities for students to engage in interdisciplinary, policy-relevant research and to build professional experience with the Center for Indo-Pacific Affairs. Faculty and graduate students collaborated with undergraduate students as they develop research skills and apply them to policy challenges. Students were supported by funding from the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa.
