Research initiatives addressing contemporary questions in health, psychology, education and the social sciences.
Ten studies the Institute has put forward. They are written here at the stage they are actually at, which is the earliest one.
Proposed means proposed. Each of these is a question the Institute intends to work on. None of them has a protocol before a review board, a principal investigator, funding, a field site or a single participant, and none of them has produced a finding. Nothing on this list is running. When one of them starts, it moves into the record set out further down this page and is listed with every field filled.
Five proposed studies of conditions in American cities and of what they cost the people living in them.
Wonderlane · CC BYDo recorded crime and the condition of a neighbourhood move together with how safe the people who live there say they feel — and where do the two come apart?
NCDOTcommunications · CC BYWhich driving behaviours carry the most risk, and what actually reaches the drivers who perform them?
pnh · CC BYWhere do homelessness, mental health and the services meant to reach both actually meet — and where do people fall between them?
milkisprotein · CC BYWhat does a household do when care costs more than it can pay, and what happens to the care it puts off?
See-ming Lee (SML) · CC BYHow far does isolation among young adults track psychological distress, and what in a community offsets it?
Five proposed studies of ageing, work, care and giving — three across the Asia-Pacific, two drawn across borders.
Ian Sane · CC BYAs populations age, who is left without the care a family used to provide, and what fills the gap?
Hello Turkey Toe · CC BYWhich older adults does online fraud reach, by what route, and what loss follows — and does the answer differ between countries?
dejankrsmanovic · CC BYWhat does unpaid family care cost the person giving it — in money, in work, and in health?
billjacobus1 · CC BYWhat do insecure work and workplace exploitation do to the well-being of migrant workers, and which protections reach them?
Gianf84 · CC BY SAHow does money given across a border find its way, and what does diaspora engagement change about where it goes?
These are the questions we think are worth the work, and we would rather hear from you now than after a study is designed around one of them. If you know the literature that already answers a question here, the population it should be asking instead, the method that would settle it, or simply what it is like where the work would happen — write and tell us.
The same invitation holds for work we have not listed. If something belongs on this page and is not on it, tell us what and why.
