Here's the thing.
Banner adverts are bad.
Sometimes they're necessary (the fundraiser being the most obvious
example, but other "get involved with Wikipedia/WMF/chapters" stuff
qualifies) - but when they're not, they shouldn't be tolerated.
Recruiting for a third party's research project is advertising.
[[WP:PROMOTION]] (point 1) is very clear on the matter: it is not
appropriate.
