The PFAS Project Lab has developed a database of United States policy and governance actions related to PFAS. In 2023, PFAS Project Lab Co-Director Alissa Cordner organized an interdisciplinary team at Whitman College tasked with standardizing all information in the PFAS Governance Tracker and developing a public, searchable database to share information about PFAS policy and governance action in a user-friendly format.

The Whitman College team consists of Associate Professor of Sociology and Paul Garrett Fellow Alissa Cordner, Associate Professor and Microsoft Chair of Computer Science Janet Davis, and six undergraduate students from a variety of academic backgrounds: Oliver Baltzer (Computer Science), Arianna Castellanos Calderon (Environmental Science-Biology), Eliza Daigle (Biochemistry, Biophysics, & Molecular Biology), Molly Halverson (Computer Science), Anthony Maniko (Computer Science), Gabe Wasserman (Sociology-Environmental Studies).
