About MP2
Build the evidence. Strengthen the people who act on it.
Mission: Prevent & Protect is an independent military prevention research collaborative in formation. We connect the people who generate evidence with the people responsible for turning it into care.
01 Why MP2
Close the distance between research and practice.
Military prevention is distributed across leaders, clinicians, chaplains, researchers, analysts, prevention staff, and service members themselves. Useful learning is often fragmented by organizational boundaries and turnover.
MP2 exists to connect that field: sponsor rigorous work, preserve methods and findings, translate evidence for leaders, and help organizations turn responsible analytic practice into durable systems.
02 Collaborate
Bring a problem worth solving.
MP2 is seeking collaborators who value rigorous inquiry, responsible data use, honest limits, and practical prevention.
Translate and test.
Bring field questions, implementation knowledge, lived experience, and intervention expertise.
Build the system.
Define the decision, create governance, interpret signals, and establish learning routines.
Enable responsibly.
Develop transparent organizational decision support with privacy and human judgment built in.
03 Formation
Independent. Transparent about where we are.
