Research design and protocol development support

Designing clinical and pre-clinical research studies can be complicated. From the determination of the optimal study design, to identifying workflows and integration into care pathways, to facilitating community engagement, to ensuring ethical compliance and regulatory oversight, there are many important decisions to make. We are here to support these activities, aiding each of these components to ensure a timely start, successful implementation, and robust results.

Our support includes:

• Study design assistance
• IRB/IACUC protocol development and responses to IRB/IACUC review
• Clinical and translational research integration with client
• Grant writing and proposal preparation
• Interpretation of results
• Guidance in preparing reports and manuscripts

We do not provide:

• Homework checking and coursework assistance
• Writing/editing papers or grants as ghost writers
• Manuscript reviews or detailed proof-reading

Our expectation for clients:

• Please complete the CTRI consulting intake form in advance of the first meeting.
• Be ready to describe your project, including your research objectives, in simple terms.
• Come to meetings with specific questions.
• Try things on your own to the best of your ability (our goal is to make recommendations and help you along).
