WE DO THIS BY USING OUR KNOWLEDGE OF PEOPLE AND SCIENCE TO CONDUCT: (1) PROGRAMS THAT CONDUCT AND SUPPORT RESEARCH IN NEGLECTED FIELDS, (2) INITIATIVES THAT HELP THE PUBLIC ENGAGE CONSTRUCTIVELY WITH SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, AND (3) EFFORTS THAT COMMUNICATE OUR FINDINGS TO SCIENTISTS, FUNDERS, POLICY MAKERS, AND THE PUBLIC. 4 3 5 0 0 0 305744 409499 0 0 0 0 43485 0 349229 409499 0 54955 0 0 260452 444105 0 0 0 82701 110397 343153 609457 6076 -199958 94998 45447 0 135480 94998 -90033 LEVERAGE RESEARCH'S MISSION IS TO IDENTIFY AND PURSUE HIGH-LEVERAGE OPPORTUNITIES TO SUPPORT RESPONSIBLE SCIENTIFIC ADVANCE.

LEVERAGE PROPOSES THAT IT MAY BE POSSIBLE TO LEARN ABOUT SCIENCE BY EXAMINING THE HISTORY OF SUCCESSFUL SCIENCES. WE STUDY THE MAJOR BREAKTHROUGHS IN THE EARLY HISTORIES OF SUCCESSFUL FIELDS TO UNDERSTAND HOW PEOPLE MAKE DISCOVERIES IN THE EARLY STAGES OF SCIENCE AND HELP RESEARCHERS MAKE NEW BREAKTHROUGHS TODAY. WE ESTIMATE THAT THERE ARE BETWEEN 200-400 CRITICAL DISCOVERIES IN THE EARLY HISTORIES OF TODAY'S SUCCESSFUL SCIENCES. WE ARE CURRENTLY PRODUCING IN-DEPTH CASE STUDIES COVERING THE HISTORY OF ELECTRICITY FROM WILLIAM GILBERT IN 1600 TO JAMES CLERK MAXWELL IN 1845. THE END GOAL OF THE PROGRAM IS TO RENDER THE EARLY HISTORY OF SCIENCE ACCESSIBLE BY MAKING IT POSSIBLE TO EXAMINE THE DATA SET OF DISCOVERIES AND DRAW CONCLUSIONS ABOUT THE EARLY SCIENTIFIC PROCESS. 207573 0 0 INTROSPECTION - OVER THE PAST DECADE, LEVERAGE STUDIED PSYCHOLOGY, A FIELD MIRED IN A REPLICATION CRISIS. OUR HYPOTHESIS HAS BEEN, AND CONTINUES TO BE, THAT INTROSPECTION IS A PROMISING RESEARCH METHOD AND CAN PROVIDE THE FOUNDATION FOR FRUITFUL EFFORTS TO BETTER UNDERSTAND PEOPLE. OUR EXPLORATORY PSYCHOLOGY PROGRAM IS AN ATTEMPT TO USE AN INTROSPECTION-CENTRIC APPROACH TO UNDERSTANDING PEOPLE. WE BELIEVE THAT THE CREATION AND DISTRIBUTION OF USEFUL TOOLS FOR INTROSPECTION HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO ADVANCE OUR UNDERSTANDING OF PEOPLE AND TO HELP INDIVIDUALS GENERATE BENEFICIAL SELF-KNOWLEDGE. WE PROVIDE INTROSPECTIVE TOOLS SUCH AS BELIEF REPORTING AND CHARTING, COLLABORATE WITH OTHER PRACTITIONERS AND DEVELOPERS OF INTROSPECTIVE TOOLS, AND PROVIDE TRAINING TO RESEARCHERS ON HOW TO USE INTROSPECTION TO STUDY THE MIND EFFECTIVELY AND SAFELY. OUR GOAL IS TO DEVELOP AND DISTRIBUTE INTROSPECTIVE METHODS THAT COULD SERVE AS THE FOUNDATION FOR DEVELOPING A NEW SUBFIELD OF INTROSPECTION RESEARCH. 41515 0 0 BOTTLENECKS - SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO EMPOWER HUMANITY WITH NEW KNOWLEDGE AND NEW TOOLS WITH WHICH TO IMPROVE THE WORLD AROUND US. YET, SCIENTIFIC INSTITUTIONS ARE FREQUENTLY NOT AS FUNCTIONAL AS SOCIETY NEEDS THEM TO BE. EVEN AS THE NUMBER OF RESEARCHERS AND AMOUNT OF MONEY SPENT ON RESEARCH INCREASES, IN MANY PLACES, FIELDS SIMPLY AREN'T MAKING FAST ENOUGH PROGRESS. BY COMBINING OUR UNDERSTANDING OF SCIENCE AND PEOPLE, WE AIM TO DISCERN AND ADDRESS THE SOCIAL AND INSTITUTIONAL, NOT JUST TECHNICAL, OBSTACLES TO PROGRESS ACROSS A VARIETY OF FIELDS-SUCH AS GEOTHERMAL, SUPERSONIC FLIGHT, AND PSYCHOLOGY-AND COORDINATE EFFORTS TO OVERCOME THEM. OUR BOTTLENECKS PROGRAM CONSISTS OF BOTH EVENTS AND RESEARCH. THE EVENTS PROVIDE A VENUE FOR BRINGING TOGETHER RESEARCHERS, FUNDERS, AND PROJECT LEADERS TO THINK AND TALK ABOUT WHERE THE REAL BOTTLENECKS ARE, AND OUR PUBLICATIONS COMMUNICATE THE CONCLUSIONS WE REACH. 0 0 0 553529 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 5 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 4 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 0 CA NY X X MELINDA BRADLEY 8104171594 7901 4TH ST N 19762 ST PETERSBURG FL 33702 OLIVER CAREFULL BOARD MEMBER 40 X 66462 0 0 GEOFFREY TAYLOR ANDERS II CEO & CHAIR & TREASURER 40 X X 64600 0 0 MELINDA BRADLEY COO & SECRETARY 40 X 57901 0 0 LARISSA HESKETH-ROWE COO AND TREASURER UNTIL 10/27/2023 40 X 42790 0 0 KERRY VAUGHAN SECRETARY UNTIL 10/13/2023 40 X 34409 0 313 NEVIN FREEMAN BOARD MEMBER 0.25 X 0 0 0 JOSEPH CORABI BOARD MEMBER UNTIL 10/13/2023 0.25 X 0 0 0 266162 0 313 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 409499 0 409499 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 409499 0 0 0 54955 54955 266162 266162 124372 124372 53571 53571 4096 4096 0 16823 16823 470 470 5314 5314 34248 8966 25282 483 483 2949 2949 EVENTS 45503 45503 0 0 BANK CHARGES AND PROCESSING FEES 511 0 511 0 609457 553529 55928 0 94998 41970 3960 483 3477 94998 45447 135480 0 135480 X 94998 -90033 0 0 94998 -90033 94998 45447 -199958 0 0 0 14927 0 X 0 0 0 X 199445 175028 306981 305744 409499 1396697 199445 175028 306981 305744 409499 1396697 188150 1208547 1396697 0.86529 0.9977 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3960 483 3477 0 0 0 0 3477 North America (including Canada and Mexico, but not the United States) 1 Program Services REIMBURSMENTS 66462 0 1 66462 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 QUANTUM BIOLOGY TECHNOLOGY INSTITUTE 1314 WESTWOOD BLVD SUITE 101 LOS ANGELES CA 90024 992678320 46745 1 0 Schedule I, Part I, Line 2 THE ORGANIZATION PROVIDES FUNDS WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT THOSE FUNDS WILL BE USED TO FULFILL THE MISSION OF THE RECEIVING ORGANIZATION, WHICH IN TURN FURTHERS THE GRANTING ORGANIZATIONS' MISSION.
