Novim Group is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization that was formed to provide an independent, non-advocacy source of data, information and knowledge on important national and global issues. We strive to act in a manner that would help catalyze constructive debate and potentially lead to active programs addressing these issues. Using methods based in part on those of the JASONs, an advisory group to the US government, Novim Group’s wide-ranging studies enlist teams of physicists, biologists, environmental scientists, engineers, economists, statisticians and other specialists.These group members are chosen to ensure the broadest point of view on a subject. Our guiding principle from the beginning has been “We are only interested in the science.” Simultaneously, Novim Group strives to create a pipeline of emerging issues, while coordinating post-project evaluations and communications. We work closely with advanced research institutions and universities.
