Protocol Development, Review and Approval
The clinical trial protocol is the heart of any research project, It is a “recipe” for ensuring that the procedures/measures outlined in the research study are carried out in a consistent, reproducible manner. Once a protocol is written but before it can be initiated, the protocol must go through a review and approval process. This includes scientific, safety, and ethical reviews. The module is divided into 6 required components (videos) and 2 recommended videos. Once you have completed all required parts, please link to the evaluation after which you will be directed to a certificate of completion for your education records.
