The word "beeline" defines the most direct connection between two points, and that is what Research Beeline does with regard to research funding in Africa; on one end are the researchers, and on the other, the endless opportunities and support coming from sponsors, government agencies, philanthropists, scholars, and many other sources from across the world, we simply connect the two ends and the effect is a vibrant and well-informed research community in the continent.

Research Beeline was founded from the realization that Researchers in Africa share similar challenges and opportunities in so many ways. Acknowledging that external funding is vital for research growth in our institutions,  a deliberate and consistent flow of research funding information needs to be guaranteed for our researchers - establishing Research Beeline came out of this necessity.

We do not just update on available opportunities. Still, we do go further to report on the entire funding landscape so that our researchers understand the story behind each opportunity before they go for it.

Once an institution subscribes, it empowers its researchers to independently seek funding, scholarships, and collaboration opportunities; either individually or in groups. This significantly reduces the workload on the research office, allowing it to focus on other equally important areas of support and strategic development.
