Welcome to our repository of completed projects funded by the INFORM Hub. This space highlights the essential foundational work, pilot studies, and initial explorations that form the building blocks of future breakthroughs.
While these projects represent the successful completion of their funded phases, please note that many are in the early stages of development. Rather than final commercial products or large-scale implementations, the focus here is on the critical “first steps”—gathering preliminary data, testing new hypotheses, and establishing proof-of-concept.
