Engagement Guide

Partner Engagement Guide

A structured map of how each partner role enters the platform and what is expected on each side.

ABIP engages partners through defined functional tracks. Each role connects to a specific entry interface and a set of expected deliverables, ensuring scientific consistency and operational clarity. Engagement defines functional contribution within a layer of the platform — not ownership or control.

— FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Eligibility, timelines, data-sharing expectations, and governance — by partner role.

01 — Public Sector

Who is eligible to engage as a public-sector partner?: Municipalities, state secretariats of health and education, and public institutions with legal mandate to operate in the territories where ABIP activities take place.
What is the typical timeline from inquiry to active operation?: Approximately 60–120 days: inquiry, scoping, letter of interest, designation of a local focal point, and operational alignment with health and education networks.
What are the data-sharing expectations?: Data flows follow public-system standards (LGPD and sector regulations). ABIP shares aggregated indicators and territorial reports; individual data remains under public-system custody.
How is governance handled with the municipality?: Through a designated technical focal point and joint coordination cycles. The municipality is a functional partner — it does not hold ownership over the platform, and ABIP does not assume public-sector mandates.

02 — Private Sector / R&D

Which companies can engage?: Companies and R&D partners with a defined scientific, technological, or methodological contribution aligned with ABIP's roadmap and ethical framework.
What is the engagement timeline?: Typical cycles run 6–24 months, renewable. Initial scoping and formalization usually take 45–90 days before execution starts.
How are data and intellectual property handled?: IP and data-use terms are defined in advance within the multi-institutional governance. Research data follows ABIP protocols; commercial outputs are governed by the agreement scope.
Does engagement imply influence over scientific direction?: No. Scientific coordination remains under the platform's coordinating institutions. Private partners contribute within a defined functional layer without directing research priorities.

03 — Researchers & Scientific Validation

Who can submit a project?: Researchers affiliated with recognized institutions, with ethical and regulatory clearance from their home institution and a project compatible with ABIP protocols.
How long does a study typically take?: 9–24 months per study, depending on scope. Submission review and protocol alignment usually take 60–90 days before fieldwork begins.
What are the data-sharing expectations?: Data-collection plans must align with ABIP protocols. Datasets are shared under defined terms, with co-authorship and publication plans agreed in advance.
How is scientific governance ensured?: Projects are reviewed within the platform's scientific coordination. Researchers retain authorship of their contribution while operating inside shared methodological standards.

04 — Institutional & Strategic Partners

Which institutions can engage at this level?: Universities, research institutes, foundations, and public or non-governmental institutions with a structured mandate aligned with ABIP's mission.
What is the typical engagement horizon?: Multi-year, structured around coordination cycles. Formalization through a Memorandum of Understanding usually takes 60–120 days.
What data-sharing expectations apply?: Shared transparency and reporting standards apply across institutions. Aggregated outputs are jointly authored; primary data remains under the protocols of the originating layer.
How is governance structured?: Through participation in coordination cycles and joint reviews. Engagement is a functional contribution to the platform — it does not establish ownership or hierarchy among institutions.

05 — Volunteers & Field Collaborators

Who can engage as a volunteer or field collaborator?: Individuals with technical, operational, or community-based skills relevant to ABIP's field activities, accepting the platform's protocols and ethical framework.
What is the typical engagement timeline?: Defined per activity cycle, ranging from short field missions to multi-month structured collaborations.
What data-sharing expectations apply?: Volunteers handle data only within assigned protocols and confidentiality terms. Personal and community data remain under ABIP's institutional custody.
How is governance applied to individual collaborators?: Through onboarding, supervision, and reporting within the relevant operational team. Contribution is functional and time-bound, without conferring institutional representation.

— Engagement Model

An integrated engagement model.

Each track maintains the platform's scientific rigor while creating clear, predictable entry points for partners. Engagement is defined by functional contribution, with shared accountability across coordinating institutions.
