RESEARCH AT IWBI

Bringing evidence to life.

By translating evidence to practice, we bring its benefits and impacts to the lives of people in places where we work, play, heal and connect with one another.

Translating research into practice

Whether we’re translating research into practice through WELL, collaborating with academia and industry to identify emerging evidence, or evaluating the performance of WELL projects through performance testing and feedback data from those in the space—research is the backbone of our organization.
