Adler Archer Laboratory · Johns Hopkins University · CBID
Applied research for the Baltimore–Washington region and beyond.
Research that starts with the people closest to the problem and ends with something they can use.
The Adler Archer Laboratory is embedded at CBID. We exist to move ideas into field tests, policy conversations, and ventures, especially when the work starts in Baltimore classrooms, veteran-led teams, or transatlantic policy rooms.
Serious engineering rigor, without the ivory tower distance.
“Our best work happens when the people who live the problem stay in the lead, and we bring design, evidence, and partnerships to back them up.”
