About the PSIRO

When PSIRO was being created, founder Christopher "Topher" Young wanted to create an organization that was conducting research outside of the mainstream mentality of current paranormal studies. The PSIRO has chosen to remove all aspects of preconceived beliefs about the various paranormal theories to offer a fresh new look on how paranormal research is conducted, and in return create alternative and state-of-the-art research methods to test such theories.

The PSIRO hopes to offer more substantial research by widening the possibilities and testing any and all theories, not just those commonly accepted by current mainstream society.

THE ROLE & SCOPE OF THE PSIRO & ITS AFFILIATE GROUPS
The purposes of the research programs administered by the PSIRO are to:

a) Investigate claims of supernatural phenomena that will lead to a better understanding of the natural and potential supernatural world.

b) Develop the research capacity of the paranormal research field by supporting the training of serious minded investigators.

c) Conduct precise and ethical research experiments pertaining to the alleged paranormal to offer collective data on theories and hypothesis regarding paranormal phenomena.

The PSIRO is interested in high quality scientific investigation and limits its approval of applications to those projects that have reasonable promise of revealing important scientific knowledge.

Investigators & Organizations are encouraged to identify areas that need exploration under paranormal auspices and to seek out the best possible application of their own talents, skills, and interests to that exploration.
