Advancing Big-team Reproducible Science through Increased Representation
OUR MISSION
ABRIR is an international consortium of researchers that aims to identify the unique barriers faced by researchers from LMICs (low-to-middle income countries) while participating and leading in Big-Team/Open Science projects. We hope to build a collaborative network of psychological science researchers from the Global South to explore and answer questions of deep relevance to their local regions.

Join ABRIR’s Unconference at 2025 BTSCON!
ABRIR is participating in the 2025 Big Team Science Conference with an unconference session focused on raising awareness of resources that support Big-Team and Open Science projects, with particular emphasis on improving accessibility for underrepresented populations.
We’ll be exploring a wide range of resources including communities, collaborative projects, events, educational materials, funding opportunities, tools, and more. Students and researchers at all career stages and from all disciplinary backgrounds are warmly encouraged to participate and share their insights.
