RESEARCH

Research built for public benefit—and public accountability.

ISO Metrik Institute is developing a transparent research portfolio across rehabilitation science, human performance, preventive health, clinical outcomes, and responsible healthcare innovation.

RESEARCH PORTFOLIO

Initiatives in development.

The portfolio below identifies research concepts the Institute is prepared to develop with qualified investigators and institutional partners. It is designed to make project status, leadership, funding, oversight, registration, and results visible as the work progresses.

Research initiative in development—seeking qualified institutional and principal-investigator partners.

Current portfolio status

These initiatives are pre-study research concepts. They are not active clinical studies and are not recruiting participants. Project leadership, institutional collaboration, funding, protocols, ethics review, timelines, registration, publications, and results will be published only after they are formally established.

PROJECT DIRECTORY

Developing research initiatives.

Each initiative follows the same disclosure framework so visitors can distinguish a research concept from an approved, registered, recruiting, active, or completed study.

FROM QUESTION TO PUBLIC BENEFIT

A responsible research pathway.

Define the needBegin with a meaningful scientific, clinical, educational, or community question.
Appoint qualified leadershipIdentify an appropriately qualified principal investigator and responsible institutional oversight.
Design responsiblyDevelop an appropriate protocol, funding plan, data safeguards, conflict management, and ethical-review pathway.
Register and conductComplete applicable approval and registration requirements before recruitment and research activity begin.
Share knowledgeReport methods, findings, limitations, funding, conflicts, and results accurately—including findings that do not support an anticipated outcome.

SCIENTIFIC INTEGRITY

Standards that protect trust.

Research activities are expected to follow applicable scientific, ethical, privacy, safety, and regulatory standards. Human-subject research will require appropriate review and informed consent when applicable.

Funding relationships and potential conflicts must be disclosed and managed. Project records will be updated as information becomes formally established so planned activity is never presented as completed work.

Discuss a research collaboration

Qualified investigators, universities, hospitals, research organizations, agencies, and mission-aligned funders may contact the Institute to discuss responsible project development.
