About

What is CABMR?

CABMR is an interdisciplinary research and knowledge-mobilization center that connects academic and industry expertise to address complex economic, managerial, social, and cultural issues. We conduct and support applied research designed to generate actionable knowledge and inform evidence-based decision-making.

Our Approach to Applied Research

Our approach brings together perspectives and methods from economics, management, the social sciences, the humanities, and the creative arts. We work across disciplinary boundaries and engage with organizations and practitioners to translate research and expertise into practical knowledge, evidence-informed strategies, and meaningful impact.
