Consortium for Science, Policy and Outcomes (CSPO)

The Consortium for Science, Policy and Outcomes (CSPO) is an organization that connects scientists, policymakers, and the public to improve decision-making about science and technology issues. Based at Arizona State University, CSPO conducts research, brings people together for discussion, and develops tools to help society understand and manage complex scientific advances—like genetics, environmental changes, or AI—so that outcomes are beneficial and ethically sound. Its goal is to ensure scientific progress aligns with public values and policies, fostering informed, responsible choices in an increasingly technological world.
