IRCV is committed to keeping abreast of the major national and international religious and civic issues of the day. We read and peruse a broad range of academic, institutional and public literature pertaining to the study of religion, religious freedom, civic life, democracy and pluralism, and how they pertain to individual and collective religious experiences.

One of the outcomes of this on-going research is the Assessment, a research-based report that we periodically produce to help policymakers and institutional leaders make informed decisions, and to support public literacy on important issues.
