Case Study: Long-Term Support for Megan’s Team
Once Megan’s project was on solid footing through the Acceleration Package, she chose to extend our partnership with the Long-Term Support Package—a decision that allowed us to continue providing strategic guidance and hands-on assistance throughout the study’s lifecycle.
Now, we meet weekly with Megan and her core study team to review progress, tackle challenges, and plan the next steps. These meetings aren’t just check-ins; they’re collaborative sessions where we draw on our experience to offer tailored advice on recruitment and retention strategies, troubleshoot workflow bottlenecks, and brainstorm solutions to emerging issues.
Sometimes, these gatherings evolve into "working meetings," where we roll up our sleeves and refine processes in real-time. If a team member needs extra guidance, we follow up with focused one-on-one sessions. Having been deeply involved from the start-up phase, we know the project inside and out, allowing us to address issues quickly—often before they escalate—and provide actionable solutions that fit seamlessly into the team’s workflow.
One of the most rewarding aspects of this long-term partnership has been mentoring the next generation of researchers. From PhD students to research assistants, we work closely with team members to ensure they’re not just executing tasks but truly understanding the broader context of their work. By sharing both technical expertise and soft skills, we empower them to think critically, collaborate effectively, and innovate confidently.
During our working sessions, we make it a priority to explain the scope of each challenge, our thought process, and our approach to solving it. This transparency helps team members build their problem-solving skills and equips them to handle similar situations independently in the future.
Through this sustained support, we’ve witnessed incredible growth—not just in the project’s success but also in the confidence and capabilities of Megan’s team. It’s this combination of research excellence and personal development that makes our work with Lacuna Global so fulfilling. See how we further supported her team over time.
