The Knee Regulatory Research Center is a United States-based academic research center at West Virginia University.[1][2][3] Founded in 2016, the Knee Center provides information to the public about various issues within the sphere of state government regulation.[4] This includes occupational licensing, scope of practice, and certificate of need.[5][6][7]

The Knee Center maintains a national database that documents and tracks the occupational licensing regulations of hundreds of professions across the U.S.[8][9] It also organizes educational panels at academic conferences and prepares research reports for policymakers.[10]

Organization

Formerly part of Saint Francis University in Loretto, Pennsylvania, the Knee Center is now part of West Virginia University’s John Chambers College of Business and Economics.[11][12] In addition to educating non-students, it also provides hand-on opportunities for students interested in economics, public policy, and research.[13]

Leadership

Edward Timmons is the Knee Center’s director.[14][15] He is also a Service Associate Professor of Economics at West Virginia University's College of Business and Economics.[16]
