Method

Eight-axis cohort science.

Cohorts are defined across all eight axes simultaneously. Causal claims are bracketed by axis interaction. Replication is a first-class output, not an afterthought. Pre-registration is mandatory for every clinical-correlation study.

Data

De-identified by design.

Research datasets are de-identified at source under HIPAA Safe Harbor. The university receives a curated cohort release each year, versioned and citable. IRB review is required before any researcher accesses patient-level data.

Annual
Cohort releases
Versioned, DOI-anchored, CC-BY licensed.
IRB
Review required
External IRB partnership for research review and approval.

Publishing

Open access by design.

Faculty publish in CH Press (the journal of the equation) and in the open preprint archive. Papers paywalled in third-party journals require a green-OA copy in the university library. Grants and dissertation work are open by default.

Funding

Endowment-anchored.

The founding endowment funds nine doctoral fellowships and four postdoc seats per cohort. External grants are encouraged but not required. The university's research budget is published annually as a line item in the corporate report.

Ethics

Conflict-of-interest policy.

Faculty disclose all funding sources. Industry-funded research is permitted; industry-controlled research is not. Conceptual Health corporate is treated as any other potential funder, with the same disclosure standard.
