Researchers
Research Collaboration Program
Every year, Dayalogs supports selected public-interest research initiatives with free access to the platform. If your project advances knowledge and serves society, we would like to hear about it.
Why we do this
Good research should not stall because the tools are out of reach.
Many valuable projects operate with limited resources. Through this program, we put Dayalogs at the service of teams whose work aligns with our mission: helping people collect better evidence with less operational friction.
Who can apply
For teams doing research in the public interest.
Research centres and hospitals
Teams running applied, clinical or health-related studies.
Public institutions
Public bodies and agencies studying the communities they serve.
Non-profits and other teams
Non-profit organizations and any other team whose research serves the public interest.
What we offer
Survey operations, collaboration and exports for real fieldwork.
The exact support depends on the project and is agreed with each team before the collaboration starts.
Free platform access
Use Dayalogs for the agreed duration of the project, including survey creation, sharing and response management.
Team collaboration
Invite your research group, review surveys before launch and coordinate fieldwork from a shared workspace.
Technical guidance
When useful, we can help with survey structure, LinkSets, data exports and early access to selected features.
Selection
We choose projects where Dayalogs can make a meaningful difference.
We review proposals on a rolling basis. The decision is not automatic: we look at the public-interest value of the project, how clearly Dayalogs can support the fieldwork, and whether we have enough capacity to accompany the team properly. Every proposal gets a response.
We are especially interested in projects with social, educational or scientific value, and in teams that can give us honest feedback about the platform while using it in a real research context.
What we ask in return: honest product feedback and suggestions for improving the platform. Depending on the project, we may also agree on a mention of Dayalogs in papers, methodology notes or public presentations, or permission to discuss the collaboration as a case study. These expectations are always defined together before the collaboration starts.
Proposal form
Tell us enough to understand the project and the fieldwork.
The proposal form asks for basic information about your organization, a contact person, and the research project you want to run. We will also ask about the expected sample size, sharing channels, survey languages, ethics approval status, project duration, team members who may need access, and the outputs you expect to produce.
You can optionally attach a project document if it helps explain the proposal. The form is itself a Dayalogs survey, so applicants see the respondent experience before the collaboration starts.
We aim to respond within three weeks, and every proposal gets a response.
Data protection stays part of the collaboration.
Research often involves personal data. Dayalogs is committed to GDPR compliance, and we work with research teams so the platform is used in line with institutional data protection and ethics requirements.
