Work with us

CISI collaborates with universities and research groups across Guatemala, the Americas, and beyond. Our collaborations are grounded in long-term community relationships, Guatemalan leadership and co-authorship, and local capacity building.

Research collaborations

If your work aligns with one of our research themes or active projects, we would like to hear from you. Researchers who work with us over the long term may join as Affiliate Research Scientists; see the team page for our current affiliates.

Students & trainees

We mentor undergraduate, medical, and graduate students and host research fellows. Most projects require Spanish proficiency; Kaqchikel or another Mayan language is an asset.

Data & instruments

Several of our cohorts, datasets, and translated or validated instruments are available to collaborating researchers on request, including materials deposited in public repositories alongside our publications.
