◉ PSYCHOHISTORY

3-D Commission

institution
A commission set up to study health decisions was built using a template already used for another project.
Who they are

The 3-D Commission, also called the Commission on Health Determinants, Data, and Decision Making.

What they do

A group of 25 researchers from around the world, chaired by Dean Sandro Galea.

How it works

The commission says it combines insights on social determinants with data to inform decisions about population health. Its founders gave it the nickname 3-D Commission. The same template used for the earlier example of Climade was used here. The commission's people page lists a Commission, Fellows, and Team, with a secretariat from Rabin Martin. A separate document names Heidi Larson in connection with the commission, but does not say in what role. Another link ties the commission to the Rockefeller Foundation, but does not show the amount or terms of any funding.

Why it matters

It shows how a body that presents itself as a fresh expert effort can reuse an existing setup, with outside groups and unnamed roles behind the scenes.

The engine's record — word for word
The corpus records: "The template used in the example of Climade was previously used by the 3-D Commission, and that is the better documented example in this regard." Documents named in the corpus: Salzburg Declaration; 3-D Commission. Cross-sourced to 3dcommission.health, bu.edu — documents cited by the corpus and retrieved independently of it.
