Michael J. Perry
Partner

Michael Perry has been a partner at Lake Research Partners (LRP) since 1997. Mike heads a team of researchers who specialize in studying public attitudes and experiences on social policy issues for non-profit organizations and foundations. A key component of Mike's research is seeking out and including the perspectives of diverse and hard-to-reach populations on important policy issues.

Mike has an expertise in studying attitudes on many of today’s most pressing issues including access to affordable health care, poverty, foster care, childhood obesity, Medicaid and Medicare, teen pregnancy and reproductive health, cancer research, global health issues like HIV/AIDS, death and dying issues in the wake of Terry Schiavo, and more. Among Mike’s clients are many top national foundations and non-profit organizations as well as many universities.

Mike serves on the Media and Research Steering Committee of the DC Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy and the Advisory Council for the Spanish Catholic Center, which provides health and social services to the new immigrants in the Washington, DC area.

Prior to joining LRP, Mike was a senior associate at Mathew Greenwald and Associates, a market research firm in Washington, DC, and a Fellow at the Program on International Policy Attitudes with the University of Maryland. He has a Masters Degree in International Relations from the University of Southern California.
