Mission	To foster interdisciplinary collaboration in research among migration and immigrant incorporation scholars and to translate that work into innovative policy solutions that advance the well-being of migrants to the U.S. This research will also inform the contours of community engagement in the Tampa Bay region by determining needs for programs, placing students in the communities as part of their training, and coordinating local stakeholders to meet the needs of local immigrant communities.
