 RESEARCH DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT

The CCRN medical writing team has extensive experience with study design and protocol development. Following a comprehensive literature review and advisory meetings with national and international experts, protocols are developed to answer relevant and timely questions. We hold to the strictest scientific principles and ethical standards in design and data collection. Our team liaises with our statistical analysis specialists to review developing protocols to ensure statistical and scientific validity and develop a statistical data analysis plan right from the beginning stages to ensure appropriate data variable collection.CCRN can work with you to develop a study protocol from as early in the process as the idea stage. If requested, we can also work on your existing protocol and bring to the table our group of experts. We will ensure that the protocol will answer the important questions and is based on sound design, containing scientific and statistical validity.
