Highlights
Accelerating Cross-Sector Information Sharing
Project Unify is an advanced, cross-industry and cross-sector development project of Stewards of Change Institute and its National Interoperability Collaborative (NIC).

Most importantly, it gives voice to “people with lived expertise,” those in underserved communities who stand to gain the most from progress.
