Evidence and Policy
We translate complex evidence on health and substance use into ethical, actionable policies and informed decision-making.
We support ministries, public agencies, NGOs, and educational institutions in translating complex scientific evidence into concrete regulatory and programmatic actions. Focusing on emerging patterns of substance use—including vaping, nicotine, and performance-enhancing products—we integrate epidemiological, qualitative, and regulatory evidence to produce policy briefs, impact assessments, and strategic recommendations tailored to each institutional context through an ethical, context-sensitive, and evidence-based approach.
We develop policy briefs, impact assessments, and strategic recommendations tailored to specific institutional contexts. Our work includes designing prevention frameworks, evaluating interventions, and supporting risk communication strategies.
Our approach emphasizes ethical responsibility, feasibility, and contextual relevance, ensuring that policies are not only evidence-based but also socially grounded and applicable in real-world settings.
This collaboration may include:
- Regulatory analysis of emerging products (vaping, nicotine, energy drinks, and related products)
- Policy briefs and rapid evidence syntheses for decision-makers
- Co-design of prevention strategies for school and community settings
- Advisory services for ministries, NGOs, and educational systems
- Translation of scientific evidence into implementable public policy tools

Integrated Research
We design biocultural and mixed-methods research that connects data, theory, and real-world complexity.
We collaborate with research teams, institutions, and public organizations to co-design interdisciplinary projects that integrate qualitative and quantitative approaches within coherent analytical frameworks.
Rather than providing standalone methodological support, we work as research partners, contributing to the design, analysis, and interpretation of studies in ways that strengthen both conceptual and empirical rigor.
Our work is grounded in a biocultural perspective, ensuring that data are not only methodologically robust but also theoretically meaningful and contextually relevant. This collaborative approach enables the development of high-quality research outputs that are relevant to public policy and suitable for publication.
This collaboration may include:
- Co-design of mixed-methods studies and integration strategies
- Longitudinal analysis of developmental and behavioral trajectories
- Latent class analysis and profiling of substance use patterns
- Integration of qualitative and quantitative evidence across multiple datasets
- Joint interpretation of findings aligned with theory and public policy relevance
- Co-development of scientific publications, grant proposals, and research outputs

Ethics and Sovereignty
We advance responsible science through data sovereignty, community engagement, and decolonial approaches.
We advise on the development of ethical frameworks and research protocols that prioritize community participation, data sovereignty, and intercultural dialogue.
Our work focuses particularly on genomics, research involving Indigenous communities, and projects that include vulnerable populations or sensitive data. We collaborate with institutions, research teams, and community organizations to co-design ethical strategies that go beyond regulatory compliance by integrating principles of justice, transparency, and shared governance.
This collaboration may include:
- Workshops and co-creation processes with communities on identity and genomics
- Dialogues on the relationship between academia and Indigenous communities
- Collaborative work with museums, cultural heritage institutions, and Indigenous community engagement
-
We also support the development of research protocols, grant applications, and ethics review processes. Our approach promotes situated and responsible science that recognizes power asymmetries and actively works to address them.

Knowledge Exchange
We connect science, public dialogue, and institutional practice through education, science communication, and strategic outreach.
We design and deliver training programs, workshops, and seminars that translate complex scientific knowledge into accessible, actionable content for diverse audiences.
Our work addresses topics including vaping and substance use, drug policy, biocultural health, and science communication. We collaborate with healthcare professionals, educators, researchers, and policymakers to strengthen their capacity to understand, communicate, and apply scientific evidence within their respective contexts.
This collaboration may include:
- Workshops and co-creation processes with communities on identity and genomics
- Dialogues on the relationship between academia and Indigenous communities
- Collaborative work with museums, cultural heritage institutions, and Indigenous community engagement
