For example, check out the proposal for this project: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Increasing_article_coverage (Search for "Proposal" in the page, the menu may be collapsed.) Now available at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Understanding_Wikidata_Queries

[] [Leila/Stas/Analytics/Ops] Extract and adjust data (remove the entries not needed for this research which may be sensitive), transfer the data to one of the machines (probably stat1003), provide access to the researchers who will work with the data directly.
[] [Leila/Stas] Touch-base with the applicants throughout the project to learn about the state of the project.
[] [applicants] Update the research page on meta with an excerpt of their research on a continuous basis. If the plan is to publish the results in a peer-reviewed venue, the updates to meta can stay short. If not, updates need to be more detailed.
