01
Choose Your Projects, Build Your Experience
Explore clinical research, artificial intelligence, epidemiology, and other healthcare research opportunities. Depending on your membership, you may participate in one or two projects simultaneously.
Apply to projects matching your interests and qualifications. Each project has specific eligibility requirements, available positions, responsibilities, and timelines. Selection for a particular project is not guaranteed.
Turn your research contributions into meaningful academic achievements. microscopIA provides expert scientific supervision and covers approved publication fees for the resulting manuscripts. Besides working in a real project, you will be an author of the resulting manuscripts.
If you are not selected for a preferred project, microscopIA will assign another eligible research opportunity appropriate to your background and experience.
02
Your Place in Research, Every Month
Your membership guarantees at least one active, supervised research assignment during each membership month. You can enroll and participate actively in up to two projects simultaneously, based on your membership type. Some projects last several months, allowing you to develop meaningful scientific contributions.
If you are not selected for an available project, microscopIA will assign you a supervised scientific review suited to your qualifications and interests.
03
Training, Participation, and Time Commitment
Selected participants will receive structured training in the specific tasks required for the study. Participation is remote and does not require a fixed working schedule. Participants should expect to contribute approximately 3–7 hours per week, depending on the project stage and assigned responsibilities.
microscopIA will keep mandatory meetings to a minimum. The research team may organize additional meetings when necessary to review progress, coordinate activities, or address operational needs.
04
Learn Alongside Experienced Researchers and Clinicians
Develop practical research skills with guidance from qualified clinicians, scientists, and principal investigators. Every project includes defined responsibilities, appropriate training, scientific supervision, and clear deliverables.
Join the microscopIA Research Group, recognized by Colombia's Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation under Call 894 of 2021, and contribute to research with real academic objectives.
05
Affiliations, Authorship, and Publication
All members will join microscopIA’s Network directory. After completing their first project, eligible members will be registered as investigators under microscopIA’s organizational profile with Colombia’s Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation.
After more than three consecutive months of active membership and satisfactory performance, members may request a Research Associate certificate.
Whenever feasible, microscopIA will make preprints available to support residency, fellowship, and postgraduate applications. When preprints are restricted, participants may receive certificates documenting their roles, contributions, participation dates and verified authorship status while peer review is ongoing.
Recommendation letters may be issued at the principal investigator’s discretion, based on performance, and are not guaranteed.
