| AS IAU SEEKS TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE UNIVERSAL CRITERIA FOR BLACK THRIVING, THE EXPEDITION SERVES PREDOMINANTLY AS A RESEARCH EFFORT.

| IAU ENGAGES SALARIED CITIZEN RESEARCHERS TO FACILITATE GENERATIVE DIALOGUES WITH MEMBERS OF THEIR COMMUNITIES. DATA OBTAINED FROM THE DIALOGUES IS USED TO CREATE AN "INDEX" BY WHICH IAU CAN START TO ASSESS THE EXTENT TO WHICH CURRENT DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS CONTRIBUTE TO, OR DETRACT FROM, THE WELLBEING OF BLACK RESIDENTS. ONCE A THRESHOLD (SET OF CRITERIA OUTLINED IN A REPORT) FOR THRIVING HAS BEEN DETERMINED, IAU WILL USE THE DATA TO INFORM THE POLICIES AND PRACTICES NECESSARY TO MANIFEST THE THRIVING BLACK COMMUNITIES THAT ARE DESERVED. | $0 | $27,345 |
