Why We're Here...

Research is our primary function and the reason we are here.  We promote research, and we promote the collaboration of "professionals" and "amateurs".  We would like to see everyone, working together on research projects, for the advancement of scientific knowledge, and to better our understanding of the universe.

What would you like to do?

This is the first question (of many) that you must answer.  Then answer the following:

• What interests you?  
• What is your background? 
  
• Would you like to work alone or in a group or team? 
  
• How much time can you dedicate to the project? 
  
• Do you have the resources necessory (if needed)? 
  
• Are you looking for something 'short term' or 'long term'?
• What do you have to offer? (any special skills or talents that you can contribute?) 
  

These questions need to be answered, and many more.  When you have these questions answered for yourselt, to your own satisifaction, then please contact us.

How can we help?

There are many things that can be done.  We always have a number of 'ongoing' projects, that always are looking for new individuals.  Occasionaly, we see requests for indiduals that can participate on a team for a specified period of time, (usually some type of data collection or a survey).  If you're looking to do something in a specific research area, we can probably put you in touch with people working in that area.  Or, if you're looking to do something completely on your own, we can put you in touch with appropriate scientists, that can answer your questions, or possibly give you needed information or fresh new ideas.

If you are a scientist or principal researcher, looking for some help on a project, we can probably match your requirements  with appropriate individuals. 

The list of possibilities is almost endless!

Ongoing Projects

Following, is a table listing just a few 'long-term' projects, that generally are looking for new participants that are willing to learn and participate in a group effort.
