To start the protocol development process, please complete the Project Request & Triage Form. The form asks basic questions about what your project will entail including a summary of the project, where the data will be collected, and if you would like guidance with project development. Submission of the form prompts an alert to WMed's research support services: the Research Navigator, Data Manager, Biostatisticians, Health Information Management and IRB staff. The Research Navigator will contact you to confirm your project needs and to request dates and times you (and your team) are available for a brainstorming meeting. If you have a protocol draft available, it can be uploaded on the Project Request & Triage Form.
