AIM Research Program

The AIM Research Program focuses on tools and skills needed to identify, compare, and recommend the most effective interventions. We equip you with an impact-focused research toolkit that you later use when working on real-life, decision-relevant research projects.

What we offer

  • 12 weeks of full-time, online full-time program.
  • Highly promising and neglected research topics.
  • £1,900/month stipends to cover your living costs during, and potentially after, the program (please reach out if you have dependents or childcare costs to ensure financial constraints don't hinder your participation).
  • Complete research toolkit with useful templates and methodologies, like Theory of Change, Cost-Effectiveness Analysis, Weighted Factor Model, etc.
  • Expert feedback and peer reviews.
  • Assistance in editing and publishing reports to strengthen your research portfolio.
  • Connection to relevant job opportunities.

A case study:

Zuzana Sperlova worked in engineering and consulting before deciding that they were aiming to have an even higher impact with their career, specifically aimed at improving farmed animal welfare. Through the program, they published several reports on neglected animal welfare issues and have now transitioned into a position as a researcher at Animal Charity Evaluators.

We want to encourage people from this forum to apply for our programs, either to launch animal-focused nonprofits or to upskill in research. No previous experience or specialized background is necessary to apply. Everyone from any country is welcome to apply, as our programs are mostly held online. If you have any questions, please join our online events or post them in the comments.

Following confirmation of a HPAI outbreak at a Maricopa County facility affecting 2.3 million egg-laying hens, Animal Outlook's investigator travelled to Arizona to record depopulation efforts at Hickman's Eggs in Tonopah. The footage shows piles of dead birds being poured into dump trucks by wheel loaders scooping out huge barns and workers without personal protective equipment covering their eyes, face, and mouth. Animal Outlook's investigation was picked up by Newsweek and press across the state. Thanks to Dr. Crystal Heath of Our Honor for her expert guidance.  Following the investigation, Hickman's, which is the largest egg producer in the Southwest and the 16th largest egg producer in the US overall, announced it was shutting down the vast majority of its operations for two years after admitting that bird flu had impacted six million of the birds in its facilities.  https://animaloutlook.org/investigations/hickmans-eggs-investigation/
