Souljourner Human Flourishing Study Catalog: Nine Discipline-Ready, IRB-Safe, Coherence-Anchored Research Programs for University Research Partnerships

This catalog presents nine structured Human Flourishing research programs designed for university teams participating in the Souljourner Research Challenge. Each program maps to a canonical cohort in the Souljourner measurement canon, uses the same coherence measurement backbone, and provides a clear, fundable, publishable research arc suitable for semester-scale implementation. Universities may also design and implement it's own research criteria related to the field of Human Flourishing studies. Every study in the catalog uses a two-layer measurement architecture: an external flourishing instrument providing validated psychometric outcome measures, combined with Souljourner coherence signals capturing the structural interior, relational, and environmental dynamics of the participant cohort. This combination enables researchers to investigate not merely whether flourishing is present or absent, but what structural conditions support or erode it over time.The nine programs span the following cohort segments: (1) Students and Academic Performance; (2) Educators, Faculty, and Staff; (3) High-Stress Professionals in medical, law, and engineering training; (4) First Responders, Military Personnel, and Veterans; (5) Health, Chronic Illness, and Long-Haul Cohorts; (6) Contemplative Practitioners and Spiritual Life Programs; (7) Couples, Families, and Relational Dynamics; (8) Athletes, Performers, and Creative Practitioners; (9) Organizational, Leadership, and Team Dynamics. Each program entry includes a discipline-grade research question, a measurement model specifying both external flourishing instruments and internal coherence signal domains, a semester-scale study design, target partner departments, estimated duration, and IRB risk profile. All nine programs qualify as minimal-risk or minimal-to-moderate-risk non-interventional observational research under standard IRB definitions, using the Souljourner container architecture described in the companion Student Build Kit. The catalog also introduces the Tier 2 Partnership track, through which institutions demonstrating domain excellence are invited into structured collaboration with Souljourner to develop customized Human Flourishing Study templates, co-develop IRB language, plan publication pathways, and qualify for Zenodo co-publication with full institutional attribution. This document is designed to function simultaneously as a university research invitation, a Tier 2 request packet, and a founding catalog for the measurement infrastructure of Human Flourishing Science.Companion documents: Souljourner MVP Student Build Kit (Zenodo, 2026) and the National Hospital Portfolio Drift Instrument (NHPDI) at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18736503.
