Americas Center^®
The Americas Center's mission involves better supervising constituencies, strengthening the Federal Reserve System's and Sixth Federal Reserve District's voice and influence in hemispheric policymaking, and adding value to evolving regional payment processing.

Center for Financial Innovation and Stability (CenFIS)
The aim of CenFIS is to advance knowledge of financial innovation and stability and the connection between the two, especially in regard to Federal Reserve policymaking. The center supports and disseminates research on those topics—both original work on economic issues and research on the effects of government policies. The center's monthly online newsletter, Notes from the Vault, focuses on timely issues in financial markets.

Center for Quantitative Economic Research (CQER)
The mission of the CQER is to advance empirical research in economics and promote forecasting models usable in studying policy. The Atlanta Fed has long been noted for expertise in sophisticated models used to help forecast economic activity. The CQER serves to focus that expertise on informing economic and monetary policy.

Labor, Education, and Health Policy Center
The Labor, Education, and Health Policy Center was launched in 2010 to enhance the understanding of human capital development and labor market issues. Because education and health are critical drivers of economic vitality, and because Southerners have lower average levels of education and are in poorer health than residents in other regions, education and healthcare are particularly relevant issues for the Sixth Federal Reserve District.

Regional Economic Information Network (REIN)
Launched in 2008, the Regional Economic Information Network (REIN) was developed to better coordinate the inflow of economic intelligence into the Atlanta Fed's monetary policymaking process. Economists and analysts in Atlanta and regional executives in the Atlanta Fed branches gather regional economic data (both qualitative and quantitative) and integrate that data with national economic data to form a coherent picture of current and prospective macroeconomic conditions. One key segment of REIN is an online repository of monthly reports of Southeastern business surveys, data, and analysis. Another key REIN element is the Local Economic Analysis and Research Network (LEARN) of university researchers, which links Atlanta Fed researchers to a broader knowledge base of economic experts.
