Mission statement
COSORI aims to study and promote the conditions that are essential for community wellbeing and flourishing through nonpartisan research interventions, policy analysis, communications, and advocacy.
Our Story
Community Solutions Research Institute (COSORI) was founded in 2020 at the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic as many communities struggled to deal with the impact of the wide-scale resource loss on health and wellbeing. As a response to the declining rates of wellbeing outcomes and increasing health inequities, the founding director launched COSORI to combat the long-term impact of pandemic-related resource loss on communities around the world. COSORI was founded to serve as a hub for collaborations and connections among community wellbeing scholars, practitioners, and citizens.
