James recognized the untapped potential of bringing together diverse stakeholders to combat the opioid crisis. He envisioned a dynamic organization that could break down silos, bridge gaps, and catalyze collective action to save lives and restore hope to communities in need. James Scott’s leadership extends beyond the Resilience Projects. He is the founder of several influential philanthropic vehicles built to tackle big issues with his unique approach. These projects, institutes, accelerators, and think tanks are dedicated to advancing innovative solutions and fostering collaboration.

Our Mission

At the Resilience Projects, our mission is to revolutionize opioid addiction deterrence and treatment by harnessing the power of technology, research, and cross-sector collaboration. We believe that by uniting the expertise, resources, and passion of key stakeholders – from policymakers and healthcare providers to community leaders and those with lived experience – we can create a future free from the grip of opioid addiction.

Our Approach

Central to our approach is the “Leverage Pyramid of Stakeholder Influence,” a groundbreaking framework developed by James Scott to maximize the impact of our efforts. This model strategically engages stakeholders at every level, from grassroots organizations to top-tier decision-makers, fostering synergies and amplifying our collective voice.
Resilience Project approach to building social resilience and addressing environmental sustainability

Through our cutting-edge technology initiatives, we harness the power of data science, artificial intelligence, and machine learning to develop predictive models, optimize intervention strategies, and enhance the delivery of evidence-based care. Our team of congressional advisors, federal agency advisors, and subject matter experts work tirelessly to translate these innovations into actionable policies and programs.

Collaboration is at the heart of everything we do at the Resilience Projects. Our dynamic network of partners spans government agencies, research institutions, healthcare systems, advocacy groups, and community-based organizations. By facilitating knowledge-sharing, joint problem-solving, and coordinated action, we accelerate the pace of progress and ensure that no community is left behind.

Our Commitment

As a mission-driven organization, the Resilience Projects is deeply committed to health equity and social justice. We recognize that the opioid epidemic has disproportionately impacted marginalized communities, and we are dedicated to developing targeted interventions and advocating for policies that address these disparities head-on.

Our work is grounded in a steadfast belief in the resilience of individuals, families, and communities affected by opioid addiction. We honor their stories, learn from their experiences, and stand alongside them in the fight for a brighter future. Together, we are building a movement of hope, healing, and transformation.
