The Think Tanks and Civil Societies Program (TTCSP) was an academic, non-profit program based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, that operated from 1989 to 2021. TTCSP was originally established at the Foreign Policy Research Institute (itself a think tank) in 1989; in 2008 it moved to become part of the International Relations Program and the Lauder Institute at the University of Pennsylvania.[1] The program's director was James McGann; and at times it had hundreds of interns and staff working on its projects.[2][3] The program conducted research on policy institutes around the world,[4] published surveys, rankings and guides, and maintained a database of over 11,000 think tanks from across the world.[5]
