Collaborate with us
We are actively looking for research partners — universities, hospitals, research institutions and individual researchers, in Bangladesh and internationally.
Collaboration proposal
Tell us what you have in mind. We reply within five working days, and we will tell you honestly whether there is a real overlap.
We use what you send only to respond to your enquiry, in line with our Privacy Policy.
Before you write
We settle roles and authorship in writing before work begins, under ICMJE criteria. Authorship is never priced and never negotiable as a commercial term.
Read our authorship policyWhat we can send you
Our research agenda, team CVs, governance and integrity documentation, registration details for both entities, a capability statement, and a draft MoU framework.
What we bring
Be specific about what you need from us, and we will be specific back. In practice partners come to us for:
- Protocol development and study design, including mixed-method designs with the integration specified in advance.
- Sampling frames, sample-size justification and power calculations.
- Instrument development, translation, back-translation, cognitive testing and piloting.
- Ethical review submissions, and the documentation a committee will ask for.
- Fieldwork in Bangladesh: trained enumerators, supervision, and data-quality checks while collection is still running.
- Quantitative and qualitative analysis, and health-economic evaluation.
- Manuscript preparation, revision and response to reviewers.
What we ask of a partner
Roles, contributions and the order of authors agreed in writing before work begins. A named contact who can make decisions. Honesty about what is already funded and what is not. And a shared expectation that the findings get published whichever way they come out.
What we will not do
We do not write manuscripts for someone else to submit as their own work, we do not sell authorship, and we do not join a study whose design we think cannot answer its question. If that is what you need, we are the wrong partner — and we would rather say so in the first email than in month six.
Postgraduate students
If you are a Masters or PhD student writing to us about your own thesis, say so. The support we can give you is real but it is bounded by your institution’s rules, and we will tell you where that boundary is before you commit to anything.
