With growing interest in research on women's reproductive health, community-based organisations working among women are seen as having a special role to play. They enjoy local women's confidence and trust and can be sources of reliable data. Reflecting on the experiences of SARTHI, a rural grass roots organisation in western India, this paper questions the research process adopted for carrying out community-based, clinical research in women's reproductive health. It challenges the 'top-down' imposition of a narrowly-focused methodology which requires the community to keep pace with the study rather than the other way around, and creates unreal service-delivery conditions which cannot be sustained after the study. The paper under-scores the need for a methodology that looks beyond the study, pays as much attention to process as to results, and is an ongoing exercise operating within the realities of service provision
