Research Partnerships

Partner with the Island Security Policy Institute

ISPI partners with academic institutions, government agencies, regional organizations, and international bodies to produce research that island communities cannot access anywhere else.

Partnership Types
Academic Partnership
Joint Research & Co-Authorship

Academic institutions contribute peer review access and institutional affiliation. ISPI contributes practitioner grounding, island-specific research frameworks, and published research infrastructure. Joint papers are co-authored and submitted to relevant journals.

Current: Chaminade University — correctional reentry outcomes · Pacific Island community contexts
Government Partnership
Policy Research & Technical Assistance

Government agencies engage ISPI for independent policy analysis, framework assessments, and research briefs. ISPI maintains full editorial independence — commissioning agencies cannot alter findings or recommendations. Research is produced under ISPI's RAND-equivalent publication standards.

Active engagement: Hawaii Emergency Management Agency — post-Lahaina framework reform
International Partnership
Regional & Multilateral Research

Regional organizations — Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat, CDEMA, CARICOM IMPACS, Commonwealth Secretariat, Pacific Community — partner with ISPI to produce research applicable across all 39 SIDS communities. ISPI's SIDS global bridge framework makes every Hawaii finding applicable worldwide.
