Independent inquiry

Financial support does not purchase a particular research outcome. Sponsors may support legitimate research activities but may not require JRI to suppress, alter, selectively report, or misrepresent findings. Sponsor involvement in research design, data collection, analysis, publication, or other scientific activities will be disclosed where appropriate.

JRI is an independent initiative. It does not represent a university, government agency, accreditation body, or institutional review board.
