What paradigms and inertia bottleneck the future, and how do we support change-makers as they endeavor to build on-ramps to better futures?

JOPRO offers coordination, support, and strategy for a growing collection of research working groups, mentoring cohorts, and partnerships. We act across interdisciplinary & undiscipilinary arenas, collaborating on dozens of projects.

Our Mission

At JOPRO, we coordinate and support research groups and investigators as they bridge the present with a future full of possibilities. Our mission is to foster silo-breaking research and professional development that addresses today’s challenges and crafts on-ramps to opportunities.

Our Vision

We envision a world where interdisciplinary collaboration and innovative research drive are better attuned to exploring and representing all possibility spaces, rather than only the most conventional paths. By nurturing early-career researchers and promoting open science principles, we aim to create a more informed, connected, and empowered community.

What We Do

Research Support and Incubation:

  • Interdisciplinary & Undisicplinary Project Support: We facilitate and support collaborative research projects that span multiple conventional disciplines, pushing the boundaries of current knowledge.
  • Coordination and Strategy for Developing Groups: Niche research is tough, and so is finding experience in specified fields of study. Through our partners and network, we can help groups and projects find collaborators and opportunities while offering research management and strategic advice.
  • Open Science: We advocate for open access to research findings and methodologies, enhancing transparency and reproducibility in science.

Professional Development and Mentorship:

  • Mentoring Programs: Our mentoring initiatives provide guidance and support to early-career researchers, helping them navigate their professional journeys.
  • Workshops and Training: We offer workshops and training sessions on a range of transferable skills, from grant writing to project management.

Community Building:

  • Events and Conferences: We organize events, conferences, and symposiums that bring together researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to share knowledge and collaborate on solutions to global challenges.
  • Networking Opportunities: We create platforms for researchers to connect, collaborate, and share resources.
