Study support
We contribute to research design, contextual adaptation, local planning, recruitment, logistics, and delivery — for both domestic Bangladeshi studies and projects from home and abroad.
Research partnerships
Supporting research from local universities and international institutions alike.
EHHD Foundation partners with universities and research organisations in Bangladesh and abroad — offering grounded local expertise, field execution, and affordable coordination without sacrificing professionalism.
Open to collaborations with local Bangladeshi universities, international institutions, PhD researchers, policy teams, and grant-funded projects.
Field execution
We coordinate field activities and data collection with a practical focus on participant experience, operational realism, and clean reporting — at scale or for smaller pilots.
Local and cross-border collaboration
Whether partnering with a Bangladeshi university down the road or a research team on another continent, we keep communication structured, clear, and professionally managed.

Where we add value
Not just fieldwork — a collaborative research relationship, local or international.
Many projects struggle not because of bad ideas, but because local coordination is underpowered. EHHD helps close that gap for both Bangladeshi institutions and partners at home and abroad.
We aim to be the kind of local partner international teams can trust early, not only after problems appear.
University projects
We support faculty-led research, student work, and collaborative international studies that need on-the-ground coordination.
PhD studies
We understand tight budgets and long timelines, so we offer service models that are more accessible for doctoral researchers.
Applied policy research
We work well with organisations that need useful evidence and well-managed delivery, not only academic theory.
Research fit
Typical collaboration areas
Education and learning
Access, retention, teaching quality, school environments, skills development, and programme effectiveness.
