Below, we list research that no longer fits our current research process and prioritized impact strategies. These reports may no longer be accurate, both with respect to the evidence presented and our assessment of the evidence. We may revise these reports in the future, depending on our research capacity and research priorities, and welcome interest in collaborating on updated evaluations. Questions and comments are welcome.
