The FORGE forum
A programme people apply to becomes a community people belong to.
Register and join a searchable network of early-career researchers: find collaborators across methods and geographies, and draw on resources built within the community.
Inside the Forum
Three ways the Forum brings the community together.
Community
The member directory: researcher profiles, collaboration signals, and the work under way across FORGE. Open now →
Learn
Curated methods resources for implementation research in low-resource settings. Open now →
Summit
Convenings that bring the FORGE community together to share evidence and set direction. Coming soon
Multidisciplinary by design
You build evidence as part of a multidisciplinary team.
A central aim of FORGE is to connect early-career researchers into multidisciplinary working groups. Within these groups, you work alongside peers from different disciplines, methods, and country contexts, all contributing to the same programme of evidence.
These working groups are how the forum turns a directory of individuals into genuine research capacity: collaborators who share methods, review each other's work, and carry a cumulative evidence base forward together.
Joining
Three steps from interest to a project.
Register your interest
Tell us who you are and what you want to work on. You'll create a profile that captures your background, methods, and country context.
Find a project that fits
Browse open projects and their stated requirements, prerequisites, difficulty, and timelines, then shortlist the ones that match your experience and access.
Apply and get supervised
Submit a CV and a short statement of motivation. Selected researchers are individually supervised through to a publication-ready output.
