Scale Development for Organizational Trustworthiness (TRUST TEAM)

January 14, 2026 updated by: The Hastings Center for Bioethics

Teaming Researchers Up With Stakeholders to Test Trustworthy Engagement and Measures

The Teaming Researchers Up with Stakeholders to Test Trustworthy Engagement and Measure (TRUST TEAM) project seeks to better understand the role of organizational trustworthiness in the context of community-engaged research. At its core, how does organizational trustworthiness shape patients and other key stakeholders' involvement in community-academic research collaborations? What characteristics make an organization trustworthy and how does that strengthen relationships between academic organizations and community collaborators?

This project is creating a first-of-its-kind psychometrically sound measure of organizational trustworthiness.
