Research Collaboration
Submit a research proposal
Proposals aligned with the Centre's themes are reviewed on a rolling basis. Use this form to propose a joint study, request access to data, or offer institutional field access.
What we look for
- A question that is currently unanswered in the Indian context
- A method proportionate to the claim being made
- Ethical clearance and safeguarding arrangements where people, and especially children, are involved
- A commitment to publishing findings openly, including inconvenient ones
- A realistic timeline with identified institutional support
Proposals are acknowledged on receipt. Review typically takes several weeks, and we write back either way. Collaboration does not carry an automatic funding commitment; funding arrangements, where any exist, are discussed separately and disclosed in the published output.
