On its face, this seems silly to me. From the outside view, CFAR just looks like a small self-help organization, though probably better than most such organizations, and it seems unlikely that it'll affect any significant portion of the population.

The difference between CFAR and most self-help organisation is that CFAR is committed to publishing research about it's interventions.

Published research into effective change work is important.
