Research
Commissioned studies on tobacco and nicotine use, harm reduction interventions, and policy impact — from study design through to peer-reviewed publication.
See our research →Work With Us
Commission research and policy work built on evidence, not assumptions.
HRPR works with nonprofits, policy organisations, and private companies who need credible research, policy drafting, or media reach on tobacco and nicotine harm reduction — particularly across low- and middle-income countries, where most of the world's tobacco burden sits and most existing expertise doesn't.
What we do
Five things you can engage us for
Policy drafting
Evidence-backed policy proposals and frameworks for THR adoption, written for lawmakers and regulators — including in developing-country contexts most global frameworks overlook.
See our policy work →Media relations
Getting research findings and policy positions in front of the press and the public — op-eds, interviews, and proactive outreach to relevant journalists and outlets.
See our press coverage →Event management
End-to-end delivery of roundtables, seminars, webinars, and policymaker engagements — putting researchers, clinicians, regulators and consumer groups in direct conversation.
See our events →Advocacy capacity-building
Helping set up and support consumer and stakeholder advocacy organisations, so the case for harm reduction has organised voices behind it, not just position papers.

Funders, partners and commissioning clients
We work with international nonprofits and research consortia commissioning fieldwork in India and South Asia, policy organisations looking for LMIC-specific analysis the major global frameworks don't cover, and private companies seeking independent research or regulatory-context expertise in the nicotine and tobacco space.
How engagements work
Flexible, project by project
Engagements range from a single commissioned study or event to an ongoing advocacy or policy retainer. We scope each engagement to the outcome you need, drawing on our existing network of researchers, data agencies, legal advisors, think tanks, public relations agencies and media contacts in India and across the Global South, and adjusting as a project develops or new priorities emerge along the way.
