With the support of CGRE, Mindbridge is now accepting applications for the Winter 2026 Research Relay. During this round of submissions, three additional organizations who participated in the MindShift Lab will be selected to join the Mindbridge Research Relay, a cohort of organizations engaged in scientific research to support their missions. Beginning January 12, 2026 (onboarding will occur the week of January 5th,) each organization will receive both consultations and financial support in collaboration with Mindbridge’s Research and Evaluation Department (RED). Consultations will last from January to April of 2026, with exact dates determined upon acceptance. Participation in this program will culminate in an online research consortium on Thursday, April 23, to which every organization is required to present the research findings and successes of their mission.

The application window will be open from Sunday, November 9 - Sunday, November 30, 2025. The application deadline is Monday, December 8th at 11:59pm EST.

Selected participants will be notified during the week of December 15, 2025.
