The Collaboratory for Research on Global Projects (CRGP) is an interdisciplinary, virtual global laboratory that seeks to engage research partners who share our goals and approach on a worldwide basis. CRGP serves as Stanford University's primary forum for systemic studies of global projects. CRGP research activities primarily focus on studying the impacts of organizational and institutional parameters on projects that are difficult to quantify and yet have proven historically to have detrimental impact on overall project efficiency. Our vision, mission and objectives are as follows:

VISION: We believe the evolving global economic and financial geography requires innovative mechanisms for financing, developing and governing strategic assets to ensure dynamism and competitiveness in today's global economy.

MISSION: To partner with government and industry in pursuit of the necessary insights to develop and sustain strategic assets, both physical and intellectual, through projects that are core to modern economic growth and development. 

OBJECTIVES: To conduct research that informs and advances our vision and mission. To facilitate engagement among government, industry and academic leaders to improve the financing, development and governance of strategic assets. And to provide education to current and future leaders.
