Cohort scale research mentorship, with one point of accountability.
For research centres, corporate sponsors, and education agencies. Not the student brochure, a distinct document for a distinct question: does this scale reliably.
The problem this solves.
Cohort mentorship, done informally, produces inconsistent quality from student to student and no single point of accountability. Inkspire commissions run every student in a cohort under the same Six Stage Research Integrity Framework, with one named contact and one reporting line, not a different experience per student.
How institutional engagements work.
- A single named contact at Inkspire for the entire engagement
- Consistent mentorship standard across every student in the cohort
- Regular progress reporting at a cadence agreed with you
- Scalable from a handful of students to a full cohort
- No claim of university affiliation, ever
Scoping Call
Framework Agreed
Cohort Onboarding
Progress Reporting
A scoping call establishes cohort size, discipline spread, and reporting cadence before anything is agreed. Every student then onboards under the same intake process used across our individual programmes, so the framework below applies identically regardless of which mentor is assigned.
The framework every student runs on.
The Six Stage Research Integrity Framework. Every student in the cohort runs on it, at a depth matched to their level, so quality does not vary by which mentor they happen to be assigned.

Submission & Defence
The senior panel behind the framework.
A named point of accountability, not an anonymous pool: your cohort is mentored by specialists whose own research background genuinely overlaps with the discipline mix you commission.
Mahnoor Gul MSc Creative Writing · Senior Mentor, Humanities & Creative Research
Dr Sahr Sarfraz MBBS, resident radiologist, MSc Management · Senior Mentor, Sciences & Healthcare
Dr Rabbia Asghar BDS, MSc Education · Senior Mentor, Education & Interdisciplinary
The wider team reaches over fifty disciplines beyond this senior panel, so mentor assignment tracks the actual discipline spread of your cohort, not the reverse.
Who commissions this.
Commissioning structured mentorship for a group of researchers or students.
Funding a cohort’s research development as part of a scholarship programme.
Placing students into postgraduate research routes.
Track record at scale.

Start a conversation.
This goes to the same team as every other enquiry, with the context we need to scope a cohort engagement, not an individual one.
A working portfolio example is in preparation. Ask us directly and we'll walk you through our work on a call in the meantime.
