As part of our mission to translate science into practical terms for all affected stakeholders, TRI develops and disseminates research briefs to synthesize key findings from peer-reviewed scientific journals into practical terms.  While many of these research findings germinate from TRI, we also collate key findings germinating from researchers at other institutions that we believe have significant relevance for the field.
