Research experience.
Practical guidance.

01 / START WITH ONE STICKING POINT

You don’t need to finish a paper
to make your first week useful.

A practical way to try the membership, using the work you already have.

  1. 01

    CHOOSE YOUR FOCUS

    Bring the part
    you’re stuck on.

    A research question that keeps changing. A literature review that won’t end. A draft you’re unsure about. Pick one place to start.

    Start small. Use your real project.
  2. 02

    USE THE SUPPORT

    Ask a question.
    Find a method.

    Bring your question to a live workshop, explore the relevant course, or post in the community for peer and mentor feedback.

    Workshops + courses + community
  3. 03

    PUT IT TO WORK

    Apply what helps.
    Decide from there.

    Use a template, revise a section, or refine your question. Then decide whether the Collective is the support you want to keep.

    Continue at $59/month, or cancel.

02 / WHAT’S ACTUALLY INCLUDED

Less searching.
More working
on your paper.

Use the resource that matches the problem in front of you. You don’t have to watch every course before you ask for help.

200+ Collective members
Researchers across 50 countries.

01

“I need someone to look at this.”

Live workshops & expert feedback

Live workshops every week with professors and senior coaches. Bring questions about your research and get help working through them.

LEARN
03

“I’m starting from a blank page again.”

Templates, tools & AI workflows

Research outlines, search templates, prompts, and writing scaffolds. Use the PEER, STRIP, and GIFT frameworks to structure your work.

04

“Nobody around me gets this.”

A research community to work alongside

Ask for peer feedback, discuss what’s getting in the way, and find accountability with researchers facing similar challenges.

CONNECT
05

“I don’t know if I can trust what AI told me.”

Tools that check your sources

Search real, source-linked papers through the FastTrack connector, then run your topic, methods and references through skills that flag what doesn’t hold up.

VERIFY
BY THE NUMBERS

Live workshops with professors and senior coaches, 60+ recorded workshops, 180+ video lessons, 30+ templates and 16 Claude skills. Plus insider Q&As with journal editors and guest speakers.

03 / HOW THE COURSES WORK

You don’t just watch a lecture.
You watch it done on a real project.

Nine courses take you from first idea to submitted paper, built around one loop.

  1. 01

    Learn the method

    One step at a time, in short lessons.

  2. 02

    Watch it done live

    60+ recorded sessions where real members’ topics, searches and drafts get fixed.

  3. 03

    Do it on your project

    Worksheets and templates for your own work.

  4. 04

    Get feedback first

    Bring it to a live workshop before you move on.

04 / AI YOU CAN STAND BEHIND

AI that checks your work.
Never writes it.

Set up AI properly from day one, and use it in a way you’d be comfortable disclosing to your supervisor or a journal.

Real papers, real references

The FastTrack Connector lets Claude search real, source-linked papers and check your references against the published record. Ones that don’t match get flagged before you submit.

16 skills that pressure-test your work

Your topic, search strategy, methods, results, write-up and final reference audit are each checked the FastTrack way.

Rules you can defend

Five failure modes to avoid and four rules for ethical use, so you know where the line is and can explain your AI use to anyone who asks.

When a skill flags a problem, bring it to a live workshop.Works in your own Claude account

05 / RESEARCHERS WHO’VE BEEN THERE

Real people.
Work that made it into print.

These stories are from across FastTrack programs, including mentorship. They aren’t seven-day trial outcomes or a promise of publication. Results vary.

MohammedMaster's student

"Four papers published in six months. Full rides to Harvard, Berkeley, Boston, and Columbia."

Came in with no prior publications. Six months from first session to first acceptance.

Maria AnnaScience program

"First paper published in a high-impact journal, three months in."

No prior research background. Came in feeling like a fraud in her cohort. Left with a publication.

TalPhD candidate

"Three rejected papers became three published papers in six months."

Was doubting his fit for academia entirely. Now invited to international conferences, PhD complete.

PROFESSOR DAVID STUCKLER
Founder, FastTrack

06 / THE EXPERIENCE BEHIND THE METHOD

“What I wish someone
had taught me
at the beginning.”

David has published over 400 peer-reviewed papers and trained more than 700 researchers. His PhD is from Cambridge; he was a full professor at Oxford and a tenure-track professor at Harvard.

FastTrack brings the practical mechanics of research into view: choosing a topic, structuring the argument, writing the paper, and working through peer review.

07 / MAKE THE TRIAL ABOUT YOUR PROJECT

One question.
One draft.
One place to start.

Try the support with the work you’re doing now. The point of the first week is to see whether the Collective helps you take your next step.

A good fit if…

You want guidance and feedback while doing your own research. You can join with a topic idea, a first project, or a paper already underway.

Need advanced help with a highly specialized technical problem? Talk to the team about fit before joining.

06 / Before you join

The honest answers.

01 How does the 7-day trial work? +

$10 gets you full access for 7 days. Courses, live workshops, AI workflows, the community, all of it. If you decide it's not for you, cancel anytime during the trial and you won't be billed again. After the trial, membership is $59/month.

02 Do I need prior research experience to join? +

Not at all. Whether you've published nothing or you're already mid-PhD, we break things into clear, manageable steps. If you're starting fresh, we'll help you build the foundations from the ground up.

03 Can I get feedback on my literature review or research proposal? +

Yes. Our live workshops include direct expert feedback. You can also post inside the community for peer and mentor review between sessions. The PEER SimpleWriting system and STRIP method give you proven frameworks to structure, refine, and tighten your writing.

04 Is this right for my field? +

Almost certainly. Our methods apply across social sciences, health research, business, education, engineering, humanities, and more. The frameworks for choosing a topic, doing a clean lit review, writing methods, and getting through peer review are field-agnostic.

The one honest exception: if you need advanced technical support on something like string theory, we're not the right place. (We can probably point you to someone in our network who is.)

05 What's the difference between the Collective and 1:1 mentorship? +

The Collective gives you group workshops, structured courses, AI workflows and community discussions. It's the right place to start for most researchers, because you get serious support without the high-ticket cost.

The 1:1 Inner Circle is our premium program: personalized weekly mentorship, custom feedback on your work, our publication commitment. We only take 30 active members at any given time. Application only.
