The Applied Policy Project (APP) partners Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy Masters students from the University of Virginia with public policy organizations for their Master's capstone, the Applied Policy Project (APP). This program is designed for students to provide policy analysis on pressing policy challenges. Throughout this two-semester program, students commit approximately 300 hours of consulting time—around 10 hours per week—to analyzing and providing solutions to a critical policy issue identified by the partner organization. This process involves close collaboration with University of Virginia faculty from Batten, who guide students through an in-depth examination of the issue, stakeholders, potential solutions, and recommendations. The APP aims to support partners in making informed, ethical decisions about policy challenges outside their typical expertise, helping address complex policy issues across the breadth of public policy challenges. Once a match is confirmed on the platform, it will be sent to the students. Students will select which projects they would like to explore, and they will contact you to discuss if it is a good match. If you have more than one student wanting to work on your project, you are welcome to use any selection process you think is optimal, or if preferred, we can handle the selection process and recommend a student among the ones that have contacted you. In the end, you can follow our recommendation or go with your own choice.

Technology Strategy Group (TSG) at the University of Virginia is a student-led organization that fosters innovation, collaboration, and professional development among its undergraduate members. The club’s main objectives are to offer real-world project experience, enhance technical skills, and build meaningful connections with industry professionals. Beginning Fall 2025, interdisciplinary student teams from the University of Virginia’s Technology Strategy Club will partner with organizations to tackle open-ended technology challenges grounded in a consulting framework. Rather than executing a pre-determined backlog of development tasks, students will drive the full Systems Development Life Cycle; mapping your current state, envisioning a future state, performing gap and risk analyses, and recommending actionable roadmaps. Where appropriate, teams can build proof-of-concept prototypes or UX/UI mock-ups to validate their recommendations, but hands-on coding will complement (not replace) the strategic diagnostic work. By combining expertise in computer science, data analytics, business, and design, each team delivers a clear problem statement, evidence-based solutions, and prioritized next steps that create lasting value for your organization. Company Requirements: Provide a project that meets the 8-week timeline, starting in October. Be available for a 30-minute virtual meeting with the club leads to discuss the project scope and assess if it aligns with the experience. Develop a learning plan in collaboration with the team leads at the start of the project. Have a staff of at least three members (start-up founders are encouraged to apply if all criteria are met). Appoint a supervisor to support the experience and fulfil program requirements. Designate a primary contact person available for weekly or bi-weekly meetings to address learners' questions and provide updates during the project. Provide an alternate contact for TSG leads and Riipen administrators. Offer an opportunity for students to present their work and receive feedback. Provide any relevant information or data required for the project.
