Start with the question you need to answer
Tell us about the ingredient or finished formulation, the intended application, and the evidence you already have. We can discuss the research question and whether a project fits the capabilities of GCI’s research network.
Define the project before the study
The initial conversation can cover:
- Ingredient identity, composition, and supporting documentation.
- Existing literature and gaps in the evidence.
- Whether preclinical work, formulation research, or a clinical study is the appropriate next step.
- Potential research partners, study endpoints, and feasibility.
- Scope, responsibilities, budget, and timing.
GCI’s partnership materials describe collaboration with Nag Research Laboratories through the NutriPharma Coalition. The appropriate research team and responsibilities are agreed for each project.
A clear scope and a documented process
Study design, ethics review where applicable, participant safeguards, analytical methods, and reporting requirements depend on the project. Research does not guarantee a particular result, an approved marketing claim, or regulatory authorization.
Tell us what you are developing
Share the ingredient or formulation, your research objective, and your target timeline. Our team will follow up to discuss the next step.
