LaunchingWe are launching. Our first studies are in preparation, and our first releases will follow in the coming months.
polibridge Development Delivery Lab

Let's deliver together

We build our research with educators, training providers, youth organisations, public officials and researchers. Here is how you can work with us.

Our agenda is set by our research programs, and outside ideas can strengthen it. We accept proposals selectively, when they fit a program and can be developed to our evidence standard.

Route 1

Research or analysis proposal

For researchers and analysts with a bounded question.

Send us

  • A short research question
  • Why it matters
  • The evidence you propose to use
  • Your relevant experience
  • The output you intend

What we do

We assess fit and feasibility, and invite a bounded contribution if we have the editorial capacity to support it.

Route 2

Practitioner policy question

For people who run or work inside programs and public services.

Send us

  • A specific delivery problem
  • The institutional context
  • The decision at stake
  • The evidence available

What we do

We discuss whether it can support a study, a working session, or a call for contributions.

Process

How we review proposals

  1. Monthly review. We review incoming proposals once a month for relevance, evidence access, originality, intended users and supervision needs.
  2. Acceptance. We accept a proposal only when an editor and a feasible deadline are in place. Receiving a proposal is not acceptance, and it does not create an affiliation with the lab.
  3. Agreement before work begins. For selected work we agree scope, payment status, authorship, review, publication rights, conflicts of interest and data handling.
  4. Credit. Contributors keep an accurately credited role. Organisations that own the problem may provide evidence and context but cannot control conclusions.

We do not offer prizes, employment, funding or policy adoption in exchange for proposals.

Submit

Proposals open after our first study

We will start accepting proposals once the first study is complete and we have the editorial capacity to respond well. Subscribe to hear when the submission channel opens.
