Frequently asked questions
Is Research Engage free?
Yes. Signing up is free, and so are the researcher directory, the project board, collaboration requests and messages. The beginner program will be free too.
Who can join?
Students, researchers and faculty at any level, in any field. Researchers create a profile for the directory. Beginners can join the waitlist for our free beginner program. Project Coordinators are assigned by our team to individual projects.
How are profiles verified?
Every account confirms its email address when signing up. Profiles show each person's institution, position and expertise, so you can check who someone is before you accept a request.
What happens after I sign up?
You choose a path. Researchers set up a profile for the directory, then post projects and send collaboration requests. Beginners join the waitlist, and we email you as soon as the beginner program opens.
