The Compute Equity Project
INSTITUTIONAL COLLABORATION

For Organizations

Different institutions bring different kinds of evidence. Find your pathway, contribute a checkable resource, and follow its review without being asked to endorse a position on data-center development.

Find your institutional pathway

UNIVERSITIES & COLLEGES

Universities & colleges

Turn a bounded research question into work that another person can check. Faculty, students, centers, extension programs, and campus teams can propose source verification, dataset review, and public-facing research translation without surrendering authorship or bypassing editorial review.

LIBRARIES

Libraries

Help a patron move from a headline to a checkable public record. The library pathway centers on access, source literacy, and neutral process navigation rather than asking a library to support or oppose a development proposal.

TRIBAL INSTITUTIONS

Tribal institutions

Participation begins with the institution’s own priorities and authority. A public-interest research platform does not decide who speaks for a Tribal community, which information should be shared, or what consent can be assumed.

CIVIC DATA & NONPROFITS

Civic-data organizations & nonprofits

Make a dataset useful beyond the team that prepared it. This pathway supports source discovery, methods documentation, public indicators, and evidence translation while keeping each organization’s position and role visible.

COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS

Community organizations

Local questions deserve a visible source trail, including when the answer is not yet known. Community organizations can identify records, explain context, request corrections, and propose learning sessions without being asked to represent every resident.

PUBLIC RECORDS & PROCESS

Government & economic development

Help readers reach the authoritative record. Public agencies and economic-development organizations can identify official documents and process information while keeping proposals, procedural decisions, and demonstrated outcomes distinct.

INDUSTRY PARTICIPANTS

Industry participants

Contribute the record behind the claim. Industry participants can provide public documents, clarify factual details, and identify a correction while the platform retains independent review and visible conflict disclosures.

Ways to work with us

Participating as an individual? The individual collaborator pathway remains separate.

A useful role, with clear boundaries

A university can propose a bounded research project. A library can use a civic learning kit. A community organization can contribute attributed local context. An agency can identify an official notice. Industry can provide a public filing or factual clarification. These describe available pathways, not existing partnerships.

Begin with an institutional application or use the individual collaborator route. An application is a private request. Approval, membership, public profile display, evidence review, and event publication are separate decisions. No workspace is automatically provisioned.

What approval does and does not mean

Participation is not endorsement of this project, any organization, or data-center development. Institutions may submit evidence and context, but they cannot execute or publish Team_Compute articles. Article publishing remains owner-only.

Applications, source submissions, regional associations, events, and resource collections have separate review states. A received request is not an approved relationship. An approved workflow state is not a measure of evidence quality. Public material retains its issuer, date, geography, limitations, review context, and a correction route.
