What we’ll ask you
These seats exist to keep the organization honest with itself. Everyone also answers a few shared questions on research integrity and why this work. You answer these in your private portal after verifying your email — a reviewer reads them, and they’re never scored by a machine.
- What does genuine independence look like for this seat, and what ties of yours might test it?
- Describe a governance, ethics, or oversight call you made that protected an organization or its subjects, even at a cost.
- Where do you think a young botanical-research nonprofit is most likely to fool itself, and how would you guard against that?
- What expertise or perspective would you specifically add to this body? (optional)
Never upload Social Security numbers, tax or bank details, or patient records. Herbal Trials does not sell supplements, make efficacy claims, or provide medical advice, and does not endorse any substance. Candidate substances remain unverified until studied.
