Mouse Data Research Partner Program

Research laboratories that build our technology with us

A standing programme of collaborations with selected laboratories. We place Mouse Data systems in real research environments — sometimes to validate them, sometimes to build them — and the laboratory keeps a permanent place in the network afterwards.

The programme

How the programme works

01

Calls open by device and track.

Each call is tied to one Mouse Data device and one kind of collaboration. Terms vary; the principles do not.

02

Laboratories apply.

We also invite groups we would like to work with, but every application is reviewed against the same criteria. Selection is never automatic.

03

Partners stay.

Once a collaboration ends, the laboratory remains part of the Research Partner network — with early access, and first notice of every call that follows.

Calls

Open and upcoming calls

Open now

Face Analyzer · Validation track

Founding cohort · Face Analyzer

The first four laboratories to run the Face Analyzer outside Mouse Data.

  • 4 laboratories
  • 6 months
  • Closes 31 October 2026
In preparation

PhenoScreener · Development track

Development cohort · PhenoScreener

Laboratories that will help us build the PhenoScreener, contributing recorded data and hands-on iteration.

Announced to the network first

Future calls will include validation cohorts for the PhenoScreener and development cohorts for new generations of the Face Analyzer.

Common to every partner

What every Research Partner gets

The device, free to use

Full hardware and software access at no cost for the whole collaboration.

Cloud analysis

Capacity covering the scope of the agreed Research Partnership Plan.

Every update

All product releases shipped while the collaboration runs.

Onboarding and the team

The Mouse Data Onboarding Platform, plus direct access to us throughout.

Early access

New algorithms, methods and features before general release.

A permanent place in the network

Membership does not end when the collaboration does.

Commitment

What we ask in return

  • A named principal investigator and at least one researcher using the system day to day.
  • Active use in line with the agreed Research Partnership Plan.
  • Structured feedback: a short call at least every six weeks, and a written review at the midpoint and at the end.
  • Willingness to share technical performance data and representative results for product development.
  • Permission to identify the laboratory and institution as a Mouse Data Research Partner.
  • Acknowledgement of Mouse Data in publications and other scientific outputs arising from the collaboration.

Each call sets out what it asks of the laboratory and what happens when the collaboration ends.

The network

The Research Partner Network

Membership does not end with the collaboration. Laboratories that have been Research Partners stay in the network permanently — and the network is where a good part of the value is.

Annual Research Partner Meeting

One day a year, partners present what they have done with the technology and tell us what to build next. Every laboratory in the network is invited; travel and attendance are covered for one researcher per laboratory in an active collaboration.

Direct contact between partner laboratories

A private channel and a network directory: who is in, what they work on, which models they run. Partners reach each other without going through us.

Shared methods and protocols

Acquisition protocols, analysis pipelines and, where partners agree to share them, annotated datasets.

Multi-site studies

A network of laboratories running the same instrument is a multi-centre study waiting to happen. We introduce the groups and support the work.

First notice of every call

Partners hear about new devices and new cohorts before anyone else, and can join later calls on other tracks.

Visibility

We publish and amplify the work our partners do with the technology, naming the laboratory and the people in it.

The Research Partnership Agreement

Every collaboration is also governed by a Research Partnership Agreement covering data ownership, intellectual property, confidentiality, shipping and insurance, and what happens to the device when the collaboration ends. We send it before any commitment.
