Support Early Stage Science
Leverage Research is dedicated to aiding responsible scientific advances which benefit society. We believe that understanding how scientific research works can help scientists design more effective research programs and speed the pace of discovery.
​
We run foundational research programs studying neglected areas of research and communicate our findings to both networks of researchers and the wider public. Our current focus is on studying, conducting, and supporting early stage science through our three main programs: History of Science, Exploratory Psychology, and Bottlenecks in Science and Technology.
​
Your donations help support our core early stage science and psychology research, as well as allowing us to support promising researchers through our events and research fellows program.

About Our Current Programs
The bulk of Leverage Research’s efforts go into our three main programs:
-
History of Science,
-
Exploratory Psychology, and
-
Bottlenecks in Science and Technology.
Each of these programs was selected because we believe there is a special opportunity available to contribute to progress in nascent and struggling fields and thereby substantially improve the world.

A huge thank you to all of the supporters who helped us reach our Winter Fundraiser target in our first ever public fundraiser! Thanks to many generous individual donors, we successfully beat our $100,000 target raising $103,400 to support our work!
​
The fundraiser provided us with an opportunity to reach out to our existing supporters and meet new potential ones. Our self-imposed donation restriction (maximum annual donations of $10,000 per individual) pushed us to make our work accessible and our mission compelling to a broader audience than ever before.
