  • Client the Groundwork for Long-Term Research Infrastructure
  • Evaluate research tools and vendor platforms (e.g., scheduling, transcription, incentives) and recommend fit-for-purpose solutions
  • Recommend and document sustainable practices that support equitable research at scale
  • Co-design an early iteration of a research repository with Greenhouse designers, including recommended tooling and strategies for scaling and improving
