What is India Research Corps?

India Research Corps (IRC), a WELL Labs platform, aims to close the evidence gap in the water sector by curating critical research questions that have a clear pathway to impact, and matching them to early-career research scholars, who then produce action-oriented knowledge.

How will IRC Support You?

Over six to twelve months, selected India Research Scholars are provided with a rigorous induction, which introduces them to conceptual modelling, scope definition, research methodology, field planning, data management, and actionable communication of research findings.

The IRC team, subject matter experts, and seasoned practitioners provide mentorship, ensuring the Scholars’ work meets both scientific and operational standards.

Scholars are paid a stipend during the active part of the programme to ensure efforts are aptly compensated.
