Okay, kiddo! The Asian American and Pacific Islander Policy Research Consortium is like a big group of people who want to learn all about Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders.
They want to know things like:
- What are some struggles that Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders face?
- How can we help them?
- What programs and policies can be made to support them?
All of this research helps people in charge make better decisions about how to help Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders.
It's kind of like how you learn all about different animals in school, so you can help take care of them better. The people in this group just want to learn more about Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders so they can help take care of them better too!
