Center for the Study of the Presidency and Congress

The Center for the Study of the Presidency and Congress (CSPC) is a non-partisan, non-profit organization founded in 1965. It brings together leaders and experts from government, the private sector, and academia to find bipartisan solutions to the country's biggest challenges, with a strong focus on national security. CSPC conducts research, publishes policy papers and issue briefs, and convenes roundtables to help policymakers make better decisions. It also publishes a peer-reviewed academic journal called Presidential Studies Quarterly. For over 50 years, CSPC has run its flagship Presidential Fellows Program, which educates college students about how federal policy is made, builds their research skills, and encourages careers in public service. Fellows travel to Washington, D.C. for a leadership conference where they meet policymakers and policy experts.
