The Inter-University Program for Latino Research (IUPLR) is a national consortium of university-based Latino research centers. Its research and dissemination aim to foster new knowledge and greater understanding of the nation’s growing Latino population.

In 1983 IUPLR was founded to effect change through expanding the body of knowledge on the Latino community at the local, state, regional, national, and international levels.

IUPLR's guiding principle is to share resources and advance scholarship, thus illuminating conditions and solving problems that affect Latinos in the United States. IUPLR-sponsored research also serves to inform public policy on these issues.

For more than 20 years IUPLR has offered training programs, sponsored interdisciplinary research pertinent to Latinos and the nation as a whole, and created links among scholars, policy experts, public officials, and community advocates.

I encourage you to take some time to explore the resources available at this site, including our updated calendar of events. We welcome your suggestions on how to make this website more user-friendly and informative. Contact us at iuplr@nd.edu.

Thank you for your interest in IUPLR.
