Experimental Design

Experimental Design
We enroll prospective participants using an online form distributed through social media; screen participants for interest and relevant background for the program; then randomize individuals into a treatment and control group.

All participants are offered information packets and a webinar to help guide their research designs and proposal development. Treatment group participants also receive the opportunity to participate in a matchmaking event to build cross-country research teams, a proposal development workshop and a process to receive written and interactive feedback on their research designs.
