Spectrum support for Clinical Research is divided into four stages, the first of which is DESIGNING YOUR STUDY.
This stage includes tasks and activities that occur early in the design & development of a study, such as:
- biostatistics consultations
- informatics consultations
- bioethics consultations
- identifying co-investigators and collaborators
- exploring funding opportunities
- What is your objective?
- What is your research hypothesis, or what question are you trying to answer?
- Is your study idea feasible/possible?
- Are the population and demographics available to complete your research?
- Has this research been attempted before?
- What were the successes, failures, limitations?
