Research Institutes, Centers and Networks

National Center for Public Performance

NCPP is a research and public service organization devoted to improving performance in the public sector. Founded in 1972, NCPP serves as a vehicle for the study, dissemination and recognition of performance measurement initiatives in government. In addition, NCPP specializes in research and teaching in the engagement of cititzens.

E-Governance Institute

The E-governance Institute's mission is to explore how the internet and other information technologies (IT) have and will continue to impact on the productivity and performance of the public sector and how e-government fosters new and deeper citizen involvement within the governing process.

The Institute is committed through its work to supporting the gathering and sharing of knowledge, information and data in order to increase the understanding of how e-governance can strengthen the fundamental partnership between the public sector and the private citizen.

Public Performance Measurement and Reporting Network

The Network is an Alfred P. Sloan funded initiative derived through the National Center for Public Performance, which has existed for over 30 years. The Network's mission is to create and strengthen connections amongst citizens, government officials and administrators, nonprofits and other groups in assessing public sector performance.

Research Exhibitions:

Red Tape from Red Square This collection is part of the rediscovery of a larger body of creative resources ranging over novels, poetry, films, drama, musicals, songs, sculpture and other such endeavors. Many of these works have been analyzed from administrative perspectives, public and private, in a growing body of scholarly works. In the field of public administration this analysis dates at least to Waldo's The Novelist on Organization and Administration (1968); Holzer, Morris and Ludwin's Literature on Bureaucracy (1979); and Goodsell and Murray's Public Administration Illuminated and Inspired by the Arts (1994). That dialogue continues on a regular basis in the journal Public Voices and through the Section on Humanistic, Artistic and Reflective Expression (SHARE) of the American Society for Public Administration. The cartoons in this exhibit are illustrative of work in the XIX Century, and the first half-century of the Soviet Union. They were collected at the initiative of Marc Holzer of Rutgers University and through the endeavors of Pavel Makeyenko and Helen Lvova of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
