Calvert Institute for Policy Research

The Calvert Institute for Policy Research (CIPR) calls itself "an independent, non-partisan public policy research institution committed to generating new ideas based on the principles of free enterprise, limited government and personal responsibility." It was co-founded in 1996 by Ronald W. Dworkin of the Hudson Institute. CIPR is a member of the State Policy Network (SPN), a web of conservative state-based think-tanks. As of December 2013, CIPR has not filed an IRS Form 990 since 2006.
