About Us

The resources and guidance on this website were compiled by a group of researchers who have extensive experience supporting colleagues who have faced coordinated campaigns of intimidation and harassment in response to their important public-facing work. We have faced such campaigns ourselves and, after receiving little support from our universities, we began studying both existing and needed forms of institutional support. We support individual researchers but also work with universities and funders about the tools and mechanisms they can put in place to address this occupational hazard.

For researchers experiencing external campaigns of intimidation and harassment, please visit the resources page with information we’ve provided about how to get further support.

Funders and employers who would like to learn more about the services we can provide to assist you in providing better support for researchers experiencing external intimidation and harassment, please reach out to us at researchersupport@proton.me.
