The TRUSST Lab advances the cross-boundary social science of trust by supporting PhD student-led research projects that advance the theory and practice of trust. Potential lab projects are evaluated by the full lab primarily for fit.
Lab projects are primarily supported through a gift from an anonymous donor. Decisions regarding the use of those funds are made collectively. Lab projects have also been supported directly by a variety of internal and external funding programs.
​
Undergraduate and graduate students who are not currently leading a project support existing lab projects.
​
Interested students are encouraged to contact the lab at trusstlab@gmail.com.
