Project Implicit is one of the longest-running data collection projects in social psychology. In addition to IATs, Project Implicit has been collecting data on visitors’ attitudes, explicit bias, and stereotypes for almost thirty years.
Now it is in danger. I will be donating; I hope you will too.

Project Implicit is a research nonprofit behind tools millions use to understand bias. Like many public science orgs, sustaining this work has become increasingly difficult. We are at risk of closing without additional support.
