Convening for Solutions
Bringing the right people together to advance solutions

Having someone with a critical eye who knows the science but also how things work on Capitol Hill, someone who can say ‘that’s too much jargon’ or explain the proposed legislation or the constraints—that’s an invaluable service that COMPASS provides.

Scientific Synthesis
Making sense out of science
The breadth and depth of our network puts us at the nexus of science, communication, and policy, enabling us to spot trends and opportunities. We evaluate the current state of science, research, and practice in partnership with the scientists doing the work, and share it in accessible and understandable ways with the people who need it.
Bridging Communities
Working with journalists, policymakers, & community leaders
Our work with scientists is enhanced by our deep networks beyond the scientific community. We create opportunities to bring policymakers, journalists, and community leaders into spaces with scientists, crafting events and interactions that enhance relationship-building across boundaries and facilitate learning from one another.
