FAQs
Nnyocha is a research infrastructure platform that connects African researchers, funders, and mentors through a trusted, structured ecosystem. We make it easier for high-quality research to get discovered, evaluated, and funded.
Nnyocha is open to African researchers at any career stage, institutional and individual funders, experienced mentors, and organisational partners. If you're part of the research ecosystem, there's a place for you here.
Every project submitted to Nnyocha goes through a structured review covering research quality, methodology, impact potential, and fundability. Projects that pass receive a brief matched to relevant funders. Those that don't receive written feedback.
Funders set their mandate and receive a curated pipeline of pre-vetted research opportunities. Capital is deployed through a milestone-based escrow process, with structured reporting at every stage.
Researchers retain full IP ownership. Nnyocha does not claim rights over any submitted or funded research. All commercialisation terms are agreed directly between researcher and funder.
