What We Do
Support for Ethics Approvals and Research Permits
GCP assists foreign researchers in applying and securing local ethics approvals, including getting local IRBs, recruiting local principal investigators, and acquiring research clearance permits from COSTECH, regional, district, and in the specific study location. Conducting research, particularly human subject research, requires local ethics approvals and local research permits. Ethics approval is conducted through checking the survey instrument and protocols and is usually performed in order to assess the extent of protection given to participants as well as determine the risks and benefits of the research. On the other hand, local research permits are obtained after assessing research questions, the design of the study, potential impacts, and publication plans.
In Tanzania, all researchers engaging in human subjects’ research in both social and biomedical sciences must submit an application to their own institution's IRB or, if their university does not have one, to another university's IRB. Social scientists do not need any approval beyond this to begin their research in Tanzania. Once biomedical research has been approved by their respective university IRB, the researcher must also submit it to the NIMR’s Medical Research Coordinating Committee in Tanzania for further approval. Once a researcher has IRB approval, they must apply for a research permit from COSTECH. This is required for people doing any type of research in Tanzania, even if it does not involve human subjects.
When conducting human subject (biomedical) research in Tanzania, a researcher must have IRB approval from their own institution as well as from the national health research ethics committee (NatHREC) of the national institute for medical research (NIMR) in Tanzania. In this regard, GCP will help you with all the application processes for the local IRB, including preparing all necessary documents, reformatting the project proposal in the required format, translating the study tools into the local language (Swahili), finding a local PI to partner with, and securing support letters from the respective authorities.
Given that a commitment or support letter from a local PI is one of the requirements for a foreign researcher to obtain local IRB approval by the NatHREC, GCP will assist you in identifying the most appropriate local PI and following up on the letter of support.
All foreign researchers must obtain a research permit from the Tanzania Commission for Science and Technology (COSTECH) in order to take part in research in Tanzania, regardless of whether they are conducting human subject research or not. With regard to this GCP, we will assist you with all the application processes for obtaining the research permit.
It is also required to get approval for your research from the region, district, and ward/village for each area in which you plan to do research. GCP will assist you with all the processes for obtaining permission to conduct research from the respective regional and district authorities.
In-Country Transport and Accommodation Logistics Support for Foreign Researchers
GCP has been assisting foreign researchers who are conducting their research in Tanzania to obtain an affordable and conducive lodge for their stay.

Dissertation/Thesis Consulting
GCP Research & Consultancy will help you at every stage of your thesis to ensure you have an engaging study that's prepared for approval and publication.
Under dissertation/thesis consulting, our Consultants will assist you in:
Under this section, we will assist you in providing some background information about the problem and describing the problem you have identified, the purpose of the study, the research questions you want to address through the collection of data, and the overall study design.
The literature review is essential to the success of your thesis since it will confirm that there is a research gap that has to be filled by your study. Additionally, the theoretical or conceptual framework for your approach will be described in this part. Under this section, our consulting team will definitely use their extensive knowledge to assist you in choosing the ideal theory or theories to serve as the foundation for your research.
We can assist you in developing and explaining your research design in great detail, including the reasons why a quantitative or qualitative research approach is suitable for investigating your specific research questions or hypotheses. We will make sure that your research methodology has all pertinent information regarding your data gathering tools, as well as an explanation and justification of your participant sampling strategy, suggested data collection methods, specific statistical tests, and/or qualitative analysis process. We will also present all ethical considerations as well as the validity and reliability of your data.
The Institutional Review Board (IRB) procedure might be challenging for many candidates doing research. This is due to the fact that ethical issues for research, especially doctoral research, can be fairly complex, especially when articulating a high level of care and attention to ensure that the participants themselves will not be hurt by the research's objectives and procedures.
The primary objective of the IRB and its approval is, in many respects, to safeguard individuals from any possible harm. Our consultation team will make sure that your IRB application is correctly filled out and contains all the information required to guarantee the security, privacy, and confidentiality of your participants. We may also help you with your qualitative or quantitative methodology in your dissertation to create clear guidelines for you so that, should something come up during the gathering of your data, you can react appropriately and in the most ethical way possible. Apart from assisting you with the IRB application, we can also help you create informed consent forms that are specific to your data collection methods and any other supplemental materials in order to get approval and start your research.
Our comprehensive support to develop your IRB application often begins with a full methodological review. We review your topic, the purpose of your study, and your current plans regarding how to conduct the research. We then work with you to hone your research design, specify your research questions and hypotheses, if needed, review your instrumentation, discuss validity and reliability, and select the most appropriate analytic method.
For clients who have an approved proposal and need dissertation help with the IRB application only, we complete the same review of your methodology and then move right into ensuring your study will meet the rigorous standards of your university’s IRB. We discuss with you your access and timeline for data collection, your plans for confidentiality and minimal risk, and any specific requirements from your university before beginning the drafting process for your IRB application and supplementary materials.
We provide dissertation help, including IRB assistance, for qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods studies across nearly every field. Our staff is comprised of specialists with PhDs in their respective fields. GCP Research & Consultancy’s comprehensive dissertation consulting services ensure your research methods and IRB application will be approved so you can complete data collection as soon as you might like!
Before carrying out qualitative or quantitative data analysis, we will first import and clean your data. We have enough knowledge of statistical analysis (including path analysis and SEM), as well as in-depth qualitative analysis protocols. As a part of our thorough assistance with drafting your results, we will include tables and figures in order to provide concise visual illustrations of each of your important findings. And finally, we will give you all the files produced by the data analysis software.
In accordance with the findings presented in the results section, we can assist you in creating an in-depth discussion and conclusions. This section will include a critical analysis of your findings to highlight their importance for implementation and further studies on your topic, as well as a discussion of how the findings relate to more general research in the field. Essentially, the discussion of the larger context of your research will be organized in this section based on the results. This section will also discuss limitations that were discovered during your research and offer suggestions for further study.
In order to make your work smart, we may assist you in editing your thesis using any important editing standard, including APA, MLA, Chicago, Harvard, and Turabian. Our thorough assessment of your work or thesis's grammar, sentence structure, overall formatting (as per your chosen editing standard and your university's criteria), references, citations, preliminary material, and appendices will guarantee that it is ready for submission.
Journal Article Assistance
GCP Research & Consultancy provides assistance to researchers or individuals who need to publish their work in a peer-reviewed journal. Publication is frequently a difficult task because published papers must adhere to the highest standards of scientific rigor and represent original research in the field. Our Consultants can assist you with shaping your dissertation into an actual manuscript for submission.
The processes we used to review your manuscript include:
Once you have identified a journal in which you will publish your paper, we normally start by understanding the journal's submission criteria, which will provide us with a guide for our work to develop your manuscript. This would mean framing your dissertation research so that it directly aligns with the journal's objectives and then using your dissertation as a source for constructing each necessary section of the publication.
Journal submission requirements vary considerably; therefore, it's crucial to check that your manuscript complies with them.
we will help you identify the current references that match the sources cited in the manuscript.

Our tutorials help our clients learn to create in-text citations and create reference listings in the format of any modern citation style (APA, Chicago, MLA, AMA, MLA, Turabian, IEEE, ASA, and ACS).
Transcriptions
In addition to a strong data collection strategy that promotes data saturation, reliable data transcription is also necessary before you can conduct an impactful qualitative analysis. In reality, a crucial step in ensuring the reliability of your qualitative findings is the verbatim transcription of focus groups and interviews, which is advised by numerous experts in qualitative methodology.
Although recording and transcription technologies are advancing, they are still susceptible to mistakes that could compromise the accuracy of your qualitative data and lower the standard of your findings. Talk-to-text software is one of the most common types of error because the software may misidentify words as a result of muddled or unclear speech, enunciation discrepancies, background noise, homophones, or numerous speakers at once.
Given the current state of transcription technologies, only the human ear can accurately interpret spoken communication in all of its varied forms (such as figures of speech, slang, incorrectly uttered words, sighs, and laughter). As a result, manual transcription is still preferred, but it is incredibly time-consuming, taking around 6 hours to complete for every hour of audio.
At GCP, we take pride in being able to provide our clients with high-quality manual transcription services with a quick turnaround that fits any schedule (transcription normally takes 72 hours, even for the largest qualitative datasets). Our experts can capture every detail of your interviews. This includes focus group discussions, open-ended questionnaires, and structured, semi-structured, and unstructured interviews that you can employ as data sources.
On the other hand, we have vast experience with a variety of qualitative analyses. Once your data collection and transcription are finished, we can help with your interpretative phenomenological analysis, thematic analysis, content analysis, or other types of qualitative analysis. Our consultants have enough experience using qualitative analysis software, including but not limited to NVivo, MAXQDA, Dedoose, and Atlas.ti.
