IHS funds programs, events, and research that support teaching (425K+ students taught annually by affiliated faculty; 200+ alumni entering first-time faculty roles annually), policy influence (40+ scholars cited in U. S. Supreme Court briefs; claimed impacts on healthcare access), and public-facing ideas and coalitions (200M+ people reached annually by scholars), aiming to translate classical-liberal scholarship into real-world impact across classrooms, courts, and culture.
