There is no restriction on the type of projects we accept, provided they require the use of mathematical, statistical or data analytical techniques. Alternatively is can be an Information Technology project, such as internet programming, software design. This includes surveys, population demographics, geographical analysis, risk analysis and measurement, fact finding, analysing data bases, performance metrics, data management, data quality and so on. If you are not sure whether your project is suitable please submit it and allow us to determine!

Organisations should apply for Belake assistance using the Apply page in this section of the website. Applications will be prioritised based on the following criteria:

1. The resources the organisation has with which it can procure the same or similar services through normal means, such as commercial consultancy companies.
2. The objectives of the research and the expected benefit to the target client group or population and/or the benefit to the organisation commissioning the work
3. The type on analytical work involved, which must involve the use of statistics, mathematics or data analysis.
4. The ratio of the amount of work to complete the project to the expected benefits (A large project with a small amount of benefit would be prioritised below a samll project with significant benefits)

We emphasise that these criteria will only be used to prioritise applications - no application will be rejected out-right, but will be simply be queued until such time as no higher priority applications are waiting. The only condition that all projects must satisfy is that they have some analytical, mathematical or statistical content.

Once your application is prioritised, it wil be queued until a Belake project officer is available to tackle the project. At this point you will agree a detailed project specification with the Belake project officer prior to the commencement of your project.
