Consortium for High Academic Performance: Final Report documents the
extent of underrepresentation of Blacks, Hispanics, and Native Americans among
high academic achieving undergraduates at selective institutions and discusses
the severe shortage of proven strategies for addressing the high achievement
issue at the undergraduate level. The report also summarizes findings from the
initial use of the Survey of High Academic Performance (SHAPER) that may help
inform efforts to develop strategies that are more effective; discusses
constraints on efforts to increase the number of high achieving undergraduates
from underrepresented groups; and presents recommendations for action.

Center for Latino Policy Research
The Center for Latino Policy Research (CLPR), formerly the Chicano/Latino Policy Project, was founded in 1989 in response to the research and policy challenges of limited educational and economic opportunities facing the Chicano and Latino population. CLPR is committed to sponsoring research efforts that have a direct policy impact on the Chicano/Latino population in the United States.
Publications
CLPR publications—policy reports, working papers, and policy profiles—offer faculty, students, and researchers an opportunity to share preliminary data of their works-in-progress and on-going projects, as well as inform policy makers and the general public about important policy questions affecting the Latino community in the United States.
CLPR also houses the publications of the UC Office of the President Latino Eligibility Task Force (LETF). The LETF was formed in 1992 to examine and make recommendations for policy interventions to improve Latino Student eligibility and participation rates in the University of California.
Some of CLPR’s working papers are available for full-text downloading at http://repositories.cdlib.org/issc/clpr/. Other publications may be ordered from CLPR. (See instructions below.)

ISSC’s Prevention by Design project emerged from a five-year Community Prevention Planning Demonstration (CPPD) project supported by the California State Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs (DADP) (July 1990 to November 1995). The CPPD project has designed new systemic approaches to understanding the prevention of alcohol and other drug (AOD) problems at the community level. In addition to disseminating findings from the CPPD project, the Prevention by Design program continues original research and development work on community prevention planning.

Prevention by Design publications are available at: http://socrates.berkeley.edu/~pbd/publications.html.
The Berkeley Center for Working Families (CWF), located within the Institute for the Study of Social Change, was established in September 1998 through a grant from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. UC Berkeley Professors Arlie Hochschild and Barrie Thorne were Co-Directors of the Center, which published working papers, hosted conferences and trained scholars for four years. The CWF conducted innovative and foundational research that shed light on the experiences of U.S. dual-earner families, with an emphasis on the effects of various "cultures of care" on family welfare.

Although CWF closed in 2002, its work remains available. To learn more about CWF’s accomplishments, to view its publications and to download CWF working papers, please visit the CWF website.
