How It Works
Consultant Matching
Find the right expert for your research , fast.
Whether you’re launching a new study, developing a product, or need specialized scientific insight, Connect Research makes it easy to get started.
Start by outlining your objectives, timeline, and key requirements of your project.
- Browse & Invite –Use our AI-powered search to describe what you need—for example, “I’m looking for a consultant with expertise in regulatory strategy for a Phase II oncology trial.” You’ll be instantly matched with relevant consultants. Review their profiles and reach out directly.
- Receive Proposals – Post your project and let qualified consultants come to you. Compare proposals, timelines, and pricing to find the best fit for your needs.
Before discussing sensitive project details, both you and the consultant will be prompted to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA)—choose our default template or upload your own. This step ensures your information stays protected.
No need to draft custom contracts. All collaborations on Connect Research are governed by our platform-wide Terms of Service and Policies, which provide a clear and fair legal framework for both clients and consultants.

Once you’ve agreed on project details, fund the project through our secure system. Your payment is held in escrow and only released when you mark the project as delivered.
