1/Make it easy to verify the accuracy of the information on your site.
2/Show that there's a real organization behind your site.
3/Highlight the expertise in your organization and in the content and services you provide.
4/Show that honest and trustworthy people stand behind your site.
While they should have done a better job highlighting the interesting parts of the research, dig a bit deeper and you will find them. The PDF links at the bottom are worth reading.
(I know some people who worked on this stuff, and they are great people with lots of cool research and ideas.)
