How research collaboration works
We commit to Open Science. All research partnerships prioritise transparency, ethical practice, and contribution to public knowledge.
1 Initial consultation
Discuss your research questions, study design, and how Better Conversations might fit as an intervention or research tool. We help assess feasibility and alignment with existing evidence.
2 Co-design study
Collaborate on research design, measurement instruments, data collection protocols, and ethical approvals. Access our existing research tools and benefit from our experience running intervention studies.
3 Support implementation
We can help deliver the intervention, train facilitators to maintain fidelity, provide ongoing consultation, and troubleshoot implementation challenges as they arise.
4 Co-publish findings
Work together on data analysis, manuscript preparation, and publication. We're committed to open science and sharing findings with both academic and practitioner communities.
Start a research conversation
Research collaboration details are still being developed. We're actively interested in working with researchers studying conversation, team dynamics, and organisational change. Let's have a conversation about what might work.
