Design
Guidance: CHPS Facilitator
We strongly suggest that you contact one of our CHPS Facilitators as the first step to design and implement your research study. The CHPS Facilitator Program is the single point of contact for all clinical and basic science research related questions for study start-up, study conduct, and throughout the duration of a project. Whether submitting a grant application, preparing to implement a study, looking for resources to use in your study or just wanting to brainstorm about a study idea, it is important to contact the CHPS Facilitators early.
Study Closeout Guidelines
After enrollment is closed, all follow-up data has been collected, and utilizing participant PHI is no longer required, the study is considered to be in the Closeout Phase. During this phase data is prepared for final analysis, regulatory and reviewing bodies are notified of study closure, investigational product inventory is reconciled, and final reports are submitted.
