Expert Consulting Services for Not-for-Profit Institutions, University Research Groups, Governments, Attorneys, Community Groups, and Green Companies
To become a CIPI-associated scientist you must first work with one of us on a project. Let us know if you would be interested in any of our projects, or propose your own. We are also interested in teaming with other groups of scientists on interesting projects when our expertise is complimentary, as well as learning of potential experts.
CIPI associates have no formal connection to each other, beyond working together on interesting projects from time to time.
