Here are some tools to get you started

1. We collect our information on LittleSis.

LittleSis.org is a free database of connections between powerful people and organizations. Anyone can sign up for an account and add information.

Learn the basics of adding and editing information on LittleSis’s help page. We will periodically hold trainings on how to use it, and you can just ask us for help on our forum.

Once you have a sense of what adding and editing information involves sign up for an account. On your settings page, you can request to become a LittleSis editor.

When you add or enter information make sure to tag all your entries with “pe-healthcare”.

2. Join our monthly Research Party!

We spend some time talking and some time actually doing research. It’s also a good place to get any help you might need. We meet on the fourth Thursdays and Saturdays of the month. We ask that everyone come to one research party a month. You can choose the one that best fits your time zone!

Fourth Thursdays
7:00am PT – 4:00pm CET – 7:30pm IST

Fourth Saturdays:
10:00am PT – 7:00pm CET – 10:30pm IST

3. We track who’s researching what on an Airtable.

If you haven’t already, please discuss what you want to research with the organizers. We’ll help you add your research focus to the Airtable so others can help you out and to track progress.

4. Join our Signal group

Between research parties, we keep in touch in our Signal group. Here you can share ideas, discoveries, and questions.
