• Applicants should have a research-oriented inclination, either in academia or within an organization, with the potential for individual capacity-building. 

• We welcome early-career researchers, including basic biomedical students and public health researchers, among others. 

• Mid- or late-career researchers with degrees (e.g., bachelor's, master's), specialist training (e.g., fellowship), or relevant research-related experience are also eligible to apply.

• Applicants must be willing and able to commit time and resources to the drafting, development, execution, and publication of research works. 

• Both independent and group work capabilities are important qualities we seek in our members. 

• We value commitment and open-mindedness, as well as the ability to pursue professional growth in research writing and the publication process. Being intuitive and inquisitive is beneficial, while avoiding involvement in conspiracies and fear-mongering.

Membership is free for the first six months and will be subject to renewal based on candidate evaluation.
