Uplift Probe

About Uplift Probe

A research organization that gives students a place to learn research by doing it.

Why we exist

Undergraduates in Bangladesh get few chances to take part in real research. Most meet it for the first time in a final-year thesis, with little guidance and less practice.

Uplift Probe was founded to change that. We recruit research associates, teach them the methods, and put them to work on papers alongside people who have published before. We also bring in professors and working researchers to teach.

Alongside the training, we share what research says with a wider audience through briefs, webinars and school workshops.
