The Institute
We preregister our protocols, publish our data under open licences, and publish results whether or not they show what we expected. Where the evidence supports a recommendation, we publish it with the finding it rests on.
How we workFor funders and partners
Funding is reported annually by source and amount. Every funded output carries its cost and its licence. We take no funding that restricts publication.
