The Mid-Continent Regional Science Association (MCRSA) is an organization consisting of an interdisciplinary membership from academics and other public and private organizations. The MCRSA uses the tools of regional science to help solve applied problems in rural and urban areas at the local, state and national levels.

The MCRSA publishes The Journal of Regional Analysis and Policy, a peer-reviewed journal that emphasizes real world issues and policies that affect change at the regional and/or local level.
