Communities generate extraordinary knowledge when they work alongside researchers and institutions. American Collaboratory builds the infrastructure that keeps that knowledge alive, governed, and growing.

Our story

From Baltimore pilot to national program

American Collaboratory grew out of a Kauffman Foundation-funded initiative at Johns Hopkins, where leaders identified a persistent gap between research production and practical application. The work became a flagship program of the Adloris Foundation.

We use governed knowledge infrastructure so communities keep what they helped create.
