Preparing study start
Once you have obtained approval of the relevant review committees, you can begin preparing your study start. Research activities may include informing and training study staff, as well as coordinating with supporting sites/departments. You will also need to set up a database for recording study data, arrange independent monitoring, and maintain essential documents in your research file (TMF/ISF in case of WMO research). Additionaly, it is important to document study-specific procedures.
