Study
Investigate emerging scams, fraud patterns, AI-enabled threats, and how people make decisions under pressure. Community experience helps identify the questions worth asking.
Research & Impact
Research that leads to real-world prevention.
Our research direction connects what communities experience with what educators can teach. The goal is practical prevention, informed by evidence and improved through feedback.
From a question to a safer decision.
This is the model guiding our developing research and evaluation work.
Translate
Turn findings into plain-language curriculum, training, and program design. A finding becomes useful when people can understand it and apply it to a real decision.
Prevent
Deliver learning in communities, evaluate the results, and improve what we teach. We want to understand whether people leave better able to recognize risk and make safer decisions.
Research priorities
Questions grounded in everyday life.
These areas describe our intended focus, not a list of completed studies.
Changing threats
Emerging scam patterns, fraud trends, AI-enabled threats, and the ways impersonation reaches people.
People & decisions
Behavioral decision-making, digital literacy, community-specific risks, and the experiences of people affected by scams.
Recovery & support
Victimization and recovery, including barriers to seeking help and ways education can support people without blame.
What prevention changes
Prevention effectiveness and education program evaluation: what people understand, what they can do, and what support they still need.
Reports & publications
A place for findings people can use.
Research and reports will appear here as they are published.
There are no Foundation reports available yet. We intend to share plain-language findings alongside the questions asked, methods used, and limits of what the results can tell us.
Help turn a useful question into better prevention.
We welcome conversations with researchers, universities, and community partners about relevant questions and responsible evaluation.
