Mission Statement

Leverage Research’s mission is to identify and pursue high-leverage opportunities to support responsible scientific advance. We do this by using our knowledge of people and science to conduct: (1) programs that conduct and support research in neglected fields, (2) initiatives that help the public engage constructively with science and technology, and (3) efforts that communicate our findings to scientists, funders, policy makers, and the public.

About This Cause

Leverage Research is an independent, non-profit research institute which seeks high leverage ways to support responsible scientific advance. We study and support responsible scientific progress by developing systematic bodies of knowledge in important but under-explored areas which can be used and built upon by others, focusing especially on the early stages of discovery and the role of people in science. Our three main programs are: (1) Metascience: studying how scientific advances occur in nascent fields by conducting in-depth case studies into the factors behind key discoveries in early history of successful fields. (2) Introspection: distributing tools from our early (2011–2019) psychology research to support independent research and the external testing of our original hypotheses (3) Bottlenecks in Science and Technology: coordinating researchers, funders, institution builders, and research program managers to identify technical, social, and institutional bottlenecks to progress in their fields and take effective action to break them.
