The Institute for Relational Intelligence

Partner With Us

Build the science of connection with us.

We work alongside funders, researchers, and community organizations who share one belief: that the ability to build healthy relationships should be studied openly and taught to everyone.

Who We Partner With

Different partners, one shared mission.

Funders

Foundations & Philanthropy

Underwrite open research and public education on connection, loneliness, and relational well-being — and see your support returned to the public as knowledge.

Grants · Multi-year support
Research

Universities & Researchers

Collaborate on de-identified, population-level studies of what predicts connection and stability. We bring the questions and the data infrastructure; you bring the rigor of the academy.

Co-research · Publication
Community

Community & Education

Bring relational literacy to the people you serve — schools, clinics, and community organizations piloting curricula built on the science.

What Partnership Looks Like

Concrete work, done in the open.

01

Open co-research

Joint studies on de-identified, consented data into the dynamics of connection — designed for publication, not proprietary advantage.

02

Curriculum pilots

Test and refine relational-literacy education in real settings, then release what works as free public resources.

03

Funding the open arm

Support the research and education that we give away — the part no commercial model will pay for, and the part society needs most.

04

Field-building

Convene researchers and practitioners around the questions that matter, and help make relational intelligence a recognized field.

Our Commitments

The terms that make a partnership trustworthy.
