The Collaborative Research, Innovation and Standards Program (CRISP) is an initiative of the Globalization and Localization Association (GALA), the world's leading trade association for the language industry. CRISP offers an inclusive platform for voluntary cooperation among language enterprise stakeholders. CRISP seeks to bring together participants to produce concrete results that advance the industry and create innovative solutions for shared problems.

Since CRISP touches on many areas – collaborative projects, industry standards, research, and so forth – the program is divided into 4 “Clusters”:

 Research & Analytics
 Tools & Process
 Standards
 Global Skills

Each “Cluster” group’s relevant related topics and subjects together, so it is easier to understand, manage, participate, and achieve publishable results.

The results of CRISP projects will be made available broadly for free or, in some cases, at reasonable cost.

GALA members, CRISP program participants and their companies, and sponsor companies have access to all deliverables and information created by Clusters. All others (non-GALA members, those who are not participating in CRISP, etc.) may be charged a fee for access.
