01 / START WITH ONE STICKING POINT
A practical way to try the membership, using the work you already have.
CHOOSE YOUR FOCUS
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.USE THE SUPPORT
Bring your question to a live workshop, explore the relevant course, or post in the community for peer and mentor feedback.
Workshops + courses + communityPUT IT TO WORK
Use a template, revise a section, or refine your question. Then decide whether the Collective is the support you want to keep.

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.
“I need someone to look at this.”
Live workshops every week with professors and senior coaches. Bring questions about your research and get help working through them.
“I don’t know which step comes next.”
Topic selection, systematic and literature reviews, dissertations, writing, and submission. Learn the part you need for the work you’re doing.
“I’m starting from a blank page again.”
Research outlines, search templates, prompts, and writing scaffolds. Use the PEER, STRIP, and GIFT frameworks to structure your work.
“Nobody around me gets this.”
Ask for peer feedback, discuss what’s getting in the way, and find accountability with researchers facing similar challenges.
“I don’t know if I can trust what AI told me.”
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.
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
Nine courses take you from first idea to submitted paper, built around one loop.
One step at a time, in short lessons.
60+ recorded sessions where real members’ topics, searches and drafts get fixed.
Worksheets and templates for your own work.
Bring it to a live workshop before you move on.
The path, with the courses at each stage
04 / AI YOU CAN STAND BEHIND
Set up AI properly from day one, and use it in a way you’d be comfortable disclosing to your supervisor or a journal.
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.
Your topic, search strategy, methods, results, write-up and final reference audit are each checked the FastTrack way.
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
These stories are from across FastTrack programs, including mentorship. They aren’t seven-day trial outcomes or a promise of publication. Results vary.
"Four papers published in six months. Full rides to Harvard, Berkeley, Boston, and Columbia."
"First paper published in a high-impact journal, three months in."
"Three rejected papers became three published papers in six months."
THE WORK, IN PRINT




















PROFESSOR DAVID STUCKLER
Founder, FastTrack
06 / THE EXPERIENCE BEHIND THE METHOD
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
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.
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.

$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.
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.
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.
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.)
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.
