Members of ReBSA are currently involved in a number of applied areas of research and policy-related activities. For more information on individual's research, please see the Members pages (available HERE). Listed below are some of our Present Projects. We are also involved with several projects that, for various reasons, cannot be made public, yet. If you are interested in working with us on sensitive topics, please contact us and we can discuss how best to proceed.
