Partners & collaborators

The institutions our research has been funded by, carried out with, and taught alongside — each described exactly as the relationship was, and nothing more.

Worked with

Institutions behind our work

Research councils and government bodies that have funded our researchers' studies, organisations we have worked with in the field, and students we have supported. Every card says what the relationship actually was.

Government, field and academia

Department of Agricultural ExtensionMinistry of Agriculture, Bangladesh

Research and data

Research and data work with the Department of Agricultural Extension.

Government collaboration

ShushilanDevelopment organisation, Bangladesh

Field partner

Worked with our team as a field partner, supporting fieldwork for research in Bangladesh.

Fieldwork

Students of Bangladesh Medical UniversityPostgraduate and independent researchers

Student research support

Methods support for BMU students' theses and personal research projects — study design, analysis and interpretation. The research, and its authorship, remain the students' own.

Support to individual students — not an agreement with the University
How we list names

Accurate, modest, and removable on request

1
Names, not logosWe show an organisation's logo only with its written permission. Until then, the name and the relationship are enough.
2
Exactly what happenedEach entry states the actual relationship — a grant, fieldwork, student support — and nothing broader.
3
No endorsement impliedBeing listed here does not mean an organisation endorses The Ideology, our services or our findings.
4
Some of this work pre-dates the InstituteSeveral of these relationships were with our researchers in their academic or individual roles, before The Ideology was incorporated in August 2026. We list them because they are the experience our team brings.

Represent one of these organisations?

If you would like your entry worded differently, or removed, write to info@theideology.org. We will make the change within five working days — no questions asked.

If you would like your logo shown, we will add it once we have your written permission.

What a partnership looks like

Five forms, all of them written down

ACADEMIC

Joint studies, co-supervision of postgraduate research, methodological clinics for a department, and shared grant applications — under an MoU that names the roles.

CLINICAL & HOSPITAL

Study access, real-world evidence work, patient-experience research and facility assessment, with the host institution's ethics committee as the review route.

DEVELOPMENT

Consortium roles on evaluations and assessments, where we contribute design, analysis and Bangladesh field capability.

COMMUNITY

Awareness programmes designed around formative research rather than assumptions, delivered with organizations already trusted locally.

Formal partnerships

None signed yet

This list is for institutions with a signed partnership agreement or MoU with The Ideology. Each will be named here once the agreement exists and the partner has confirmed in writing that they are content to be named. The institutions above are ones our team has worked with; they are not presented as formal partners.

What we agree before starting

  • Each party’s contribution, in writing
  • Authorship, under ICMJE criteria, agreed in advance
  • Which entity contracts — Foundation or company
  • Data ownership, access and secondary use
  • The ethics review route and who submits
  • Publication timetable, and who may publish what
  • Confidentiality, and what may be disclosed publicly

Settling these at the start avoids the most common source of dispute in collaborative research. We can supply a draft MoU framework.
