At ProQol.org, we believe that the continuing development of our field is in continuing our research.
You can participate in the continued development of the ProQOL We invite you to consider donating a copy of your raw data to the ProQOL databank. We depend on these donations to build the psychometric properties and norm the ProQOL. Please know that your donated data will never be published so that it can be identified with your research. For example, we have collected data from multiple studies of nurses. The data are merged as nursing data, not specific project data.To find out more about contributing to the ProQOL effort, go to the Donate Data page.

Other Research
The ProQol is largely a volunteer effort. As our time allows, we consult with student and professional colleagues in regard to their research on professional quality of life, compassion satisfaction, burnout and compassion fatigue. Many of our consultations are ones where cross-cultural issues and issues of indigenous people are paramount. While we cannot always donate our time, as time and resources permit, we do work pro bono.
At times, students ask us to serve on their theses and dissertation committees or to act as content experts for their advanced degrees. We are happy to discuss these options with you and participate as time and resources permit.
