SUMMARY:Foreign Funding and Public Trust in the Think Tank Sector
DESCRIPTION:  Think tanks can serve as a crucial link between academia and 
 the policy community\, offering critically important research and ideas to
  solve the nation's most pressing problems. But think tanks can also serve
  as de facto lobbyists and public relations mouthpieces for their funders\
 , sometimes even doing work at the behest of foreign powers. As these conf
 licts of interest have become more apparent the public has expressed low l
 evels of trust in think tanks\, which has only been amplified by recent sc
 andal — most notably the former President of Brookings facing allegation
 s of working as an unregistered foreign agent.   Fortunately\, Congress ha
 s taken note of this problem and there is growing bipartisan support for a
  number of long-overdue solutions. Please join us for a discussion on rece
 nt polling and research suggesting what think tank experts can do to earn 
 back the public's trust and what Congress is considering doing to increase
  transparency and reduce corruption at think tanks\, featuring Eli Clifton
 \, Investigative Journalist at Large at the Quincy Institute\; Katy Murray
 \, Insights and Relationships Lead at Cast from Clay\; and Nicholas Robins
 on\, Senior Legal Advisor at the International Center for Not-for-Profit L
 aw. Ben Freeman\, Research Fellow at the Quincy Institute\, will moderate.
