From the director: Putting research in your hands

This letter refers to several attributes unique to the print version of For All. You can sign up to receive your free copy or read the PDF online.

Our goal with For All is to shorten the distance from scholars who produce rigorous, cutting-edge research to those relying on research to make decisions. In this issue, we're introducing several updates to improve this flow of ideas.

First and foremost, we're aiming to make For All a source of research-a place you can turn to for new facts and new evidence-based perspectives on the U.S. economy. You'll notice this in a new orientation for our feature articles. These will tackle the same big topics For All covered in its first five years but now bring a clear expert perspective.

Reading new research can be hard work, so you'll see other changes to the layout that make it easier to pull key points from the features and the issue overall. These include a one-page overview of the issue's insights ("The Abstract"), figures that tell their own story for quick reading, and prominent takeaways in our Research Digests.

After these changes, what's stayed? You'll still find many ways to learn about innovative research on opportunity and inclusive growth in every issue of For All. These include in-depth interviews with experts, profiles of researchers and their paths in our Scholar Spotlights, summaries of the latest study findings in our Research Digests, and a visual story in the Data Dive.

Above all, we remain committed to sharing research the Institute engages with and produces. The aim of that work is always to help the Federal Reserve achieve maximum employment, by understanding what drives economic opportunity and inclusive growth. If you participate in that economy, you deserve access to these insights. Our goal is for everyone who'd like to know more about our mission topics to find something useful in the pages of For All.

On behalf of our researchers, writers, and designers, thank you for reading. I hope you'll share what you learn here with others.
