To this end we are committed to working with social scientists to advance public oriented praxis. In order to help fellow researchers we offer the following services:
- Project logistics and management services
- Technology support for researchers

- Technical assistance with publication
- Integration of artificial intelligence tools in private off-line spaces
- Access to trained research assistants
- Incentives for research and publication
