BRIDGE Days

Building Research Ideas and Generating Evidence (BRIDGE) Days are AV-hosted convenings that foster innovative dialogue and collaborative partnerships between criminal justice researchers and practitioners.

These events are designed to bring together small groups of practitioners and causal researchers to engage in focused, high-level discussions on pressing challenges in the criminal justice system with the ultimate goal of developing high-quality submissions in response to AV’s open Request for Proposals (RFP) on causal research in criminal justice.

In addition to their content-driven impact, these convenings play a key role in establishing Arnold Ventures as a thought leader and a hub of idea generation in the field. Our strategic aim is to cultivate a reputation for hosting candid conversations about what works, what doesn’t, and what might be worth trying next. With continued success in attracting influential stakeholders and facilitating meaningful collaborations, we are optimistic about the ongoing development and growth of these events. Through these efforts, we are proud to contribute to the advancement of research and policy solutions that can lead to tangible improvements in the field.
