Project Implicit Continues its Critical Work
We are more excited than ever to not only continue but to expand the scientific collabora-tion at the heart of Project Implicit. With the non-profit that served as our operational home for two decades shutting down, a new organizational structure is being finalized to carry our research and educational mission forward.
In the meantime, the Project Implicit website (http://implicit.harvard.edu/) remains fully operational and continues to collect data 24/7. New studies, programs, and educational ef-forts are actively underway. We expect public data to remain available in perpetuity, and new data from 2026 will be released in January of next year.
We express our deep gratitude to everyone who has helped create, sustain, and grow Pro-ject Implicit. This includes the founders, members of the Board of Directors and the Scien-tific Advisory Board, staff members of the non-profit, international collaborators, and the students across dozens of labs tending to tasks big and small. We are also thankful to our generous donors who have answered our calls and supported our mission, and especially the millions of annual visitors who continue to honor us with their curiosity, time, and data.
We look forward to providing more details in the weeks ahead.

I am sad to share that Project Implicit, my first non-profit and foundation of my career, is closing. The IAT website will continue, managed by the next generation of leaders in implicit bias research. Here's the statement I posted to LinkedIn. It didn't vibe right as a bsky thread.

Have you used Project Implicit for class demo or research? I know I have. Project Implicit fundamentally changed social psych research and public discourse. Its impact is too big to write in one post. But all this work is in jeopardy, so pls join me in donating to sustain Project Implicit!!

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. Help protect this impt work by donating here: 4agc.com/donate/impli...

New lab paper in JESP! What is the association between gender and food portion sizes? And how might such associations impact actual real-world treatment? We used lab and field studies to explore this question 🍽️

So happy for @elianeroy.bsky.social that this is out! All props to her for seeing through this giant project. See below for details on our 'contest' study comparing interventions to reduce attractiveness-based discrimination...

Reading ‘When Prophecy Fails’ and love the occasional references to Mr. Keech, the beleaguered non-believer husband of Mrs. Keech, the group leader. On the night when the UFO was supposed to show up at midnight, with 15 followers eagerly awaiting their salvation, Mr. Keech went to bed at 9:00…
