Research collaboration on the NRSI — in development.

The Neuro-Relational Strengths Index (NRSI) is a structured relational assessment that has not yet been normed. Until a norming sample exists we are not offering datasets, IRB studies, validation work, or instrument comparisons. We are building toward collaborative research on relational health, attachment, and polyvagal-informed interventions — and we would like to hear from you now.

Who this is for

Principal investigators, doctoral candidates, and academic research centers studying couples therapy outcomes, attachment repair, polyvagal regulation in dyadic contexts, relational health across cultural populations, and the intersection of faith-based and evidence-based family systems work. We are especially interested in collaborators whose work engages underrepresented populations and communities of color.

Dataset Access — Not Yet

No NRSI data is available. De-identified access will only be considered after a norming sample exists and a protocol has been reviewed.

Co-PI Collaboration

Early conversations about joint protocol design and measurement — including how a norming study should be built.

Paired-Profile Design

How paired profiles are built and read is open for discussion with collaborators. No typology data is offered at this stage.

Validation Comes First

Validation and comparison with other instruments are future work, after a norming sample — not something we offer today.

Send a brief description of your research interests. We'll schedule a conversation.
