CONCEPT PROTOCOL
Once a research question has been set the next step is to consider the methods to answer it. At this stage, it is useful to write a brief concept protocol. This document can be helpful in introducing the idea to all the groups that are likely to be approached for approvals.
A short one or two-page concept proposal can be discussed with all potentially interested parties at an early stage. When working with external sponsors or developing multi-centre studies it is common practice to hold protocol development meetings to encourage contribution to setting the question and designing the protocol.

The Concept Protocol Crowd Review tool available here on the EDCTP Knowledge Hub embraces the crowdsourcing model. If you are embarking on a health research study and would like feedback on your concept protocol from the EDCTP Knowledge Hub and The Global Health Network community, please do submit it online here. |
SEPTRESEPTRE (SPIRIT Electronic Protocol Tool and Resource) is an innovative, web-based software solution that makes it easier to create, manage, and register high-quality protocols for clinical trials. The Global Health Network is partnering with the team who developed the tool at the Women’s College Hospital, University of Toronto to promote this tool to those researchers who might otherwise be unable to. |
