The KASL Team
KASL is an interesting hybrid of Marshallese executive and advisory leadership, with original scientific support from the US Office of Naval Research. The Marshallese guide KASL's direction and ensure ideas have relevance before they enter the evaluation process. The research team then ensures ideas can be rigorously evaluated, with a pathway to maturity if they're found valuable.
