Established in 1987, the Udall Center for Studies in Public Policy sponsors policy-relevant, interdisciplinary research and forums that link scholarship and education with decisionmaking.

The Center specializes in issues concerning: (1) environmental policy and conflict; (2) indigenous nations policy, with a focus on indigenous self-governance and economic development in the United States, Canada, and elsewhere; (3) immigration policy of the United States.

In the area of Indigenous nations policy, the Center is home to the Native Nations Institute for Leadership, Management, and Policy (NNI), founded in 2001 by The University of Arizona and the Morris K. Udall Foundation and based on work of the Harvard Project on American Indian Economic Development.
