The Pacific Research Institute for Public Policy (PRI) is a California-based free-market think tank which promotes "the principles of individual freedom and personal responsibility" through policies that emphasize a free economy, private initiative, and limited government.[3] PRI was founded in 1979 by British philanthropist Antony Fisher.[4]

Sally Pipes has been president of the institute since 1991.[5] She writes a regular column for Forbes.com, focusing on health care in the United States.[6] In 2008 she founded the Benjamin Rush Institute as a conservative association for medical students with 20 chapters at medicals schools across America.[5] She is originally from Canada and became a U.S. citizen in 2006.[5]

Policy areas[]

The organization is active in the policy areas of education, economics, health care, and the environment.[7][8] It operates the Center for California's Future, which has a goal of "reinvigorating California's entrepreneurial, self-reliant traditions" and the Laffer Center, which is "focused on educating people on free-markets and supply-side economics."[9]

From 1996 through 2009, the organization published an annual Index of Leading Environmental Indicators, which tracked environmental trends worldwide. PRI started the Center for Medicine in the Public Interest, a New York-based think tank focusing on health policy.[10]
