Regular progress updates between you and your researcher. No more chasing emails or wondering about status.
Clear milestones agreed upfront with transparent reporting. You'll always know where your study stands.
If anything goes off-track, we step in. Contract disputes, timeline slippage, communication gaps — we handle it.
We don't just list anyone. Every researcher on StudyConnect is checked for:
Active position at a recognised UK or international university.
Published, peer-reviewed research in relevant fields.
Track record of working with commercial partners.
