Engage with Us

The IN Lab collaborates with a range of partners—researchers, implementers, ministries of health, funders, and global health institutions—who share our commitment to strengthening sustainable and inclusive infectious disease delivery strategies.

These collaborators may:

• Co-lead research 

• Bring implementation challenges or innovations into research-practice dialogues

• Partner on grant proposals or shared funding opportunities

• Provide philanthropic or programmatic support to expand IN Lab initiatives

Whether you’re an individual researcher or practitioner, a government agency, an NGO, or a funder interested in supporting systems-focused global health research, we welcome collaboration that is grounded in shared values and designed with purpose.

If you are interested in partnering with or supporting the IN Lab, please contact Dr. Baker directly with a short note describing your interests and potential areas of alignment.

The IN Lab welcomes expressions of interest from students and early-career professionals from around the world who are passionate about the intersection between infectious diseases, health systems, and implementation research - and who are looking to build their experiences in this field.

We engage Emerging Collaborators on a limited basis to contribute to clearly defined, time-bound tasks on existing Lab projects—such as literature reviews and case study research. 

We don’t run open recruitment rounds for emerging collaborator roles, as managing large applicant pools exceeds our current capacity. Collaboration, for us, means balancing our ability to offer opportunities with providing structure and mentorship. We therefore currently engage a small number of collaborators either through trusted networks or by selecting from a pool of people who’ve submitted a brief expression of interest. This helps us stay open to new voices while ensuring each collaboration is purposeful and well-supported

If you’d like to be considered for future opportunities, you can complete this short interest form and we’ll be in touch if a suitable opportunity arises.
