Additional documents and requirements?

If you are advertising your study or recruiting participants in any way, you will need to provide these documents also. Key personnel you list in your Study Protocol and ICF will also need to provide CVs so the committee can determine their suitability to undertake the role/s assigned to them. Here is a non-exhaustive list of some examples of documents you might need to add - depending on your study design:

>> Staff CVs (E.g. for CI/PIs/Study Co-ordinators)
>> Debriefing sheets
>> Training records
>> Compliance documentation
>> Recruitment adverts or letters

If anything crucial to your application is missing, the intial quality control review will flag this up and you will have the opportunity to share this again.
