Plan an independent study

For a study that is not your thesis: a conference or eligibility study, a paper, a KAP survey or an ICMR STS project. We check topics against the literature and your patient flow, then prepare the protocol and IEC documents for the one you choose. Starting your thesis instead? Take Topic ideas to your guide, then the synopsis.

Questions residents ask

How is Start a study different from a synopsis?
Start a study is for a study that is not your thesis, and it ends in an ethics-ready protocol for your college’s IEC. A synopsis registers your thesis with your university in its format, and the topic is your guide’s decision.
Can you choose my topic?
We give you 3 to 5 checked options, each with a PubMed summary of what is already published and a feasibility note on sample size, time and cost. You and your mentor choose.
Does Topic ideas count towards a bigger package?
Yes. What you pay for Topic ideas counts in full towards Start a study or a synopsis taken within 30 days.
Do you validate the questionnaire?
We draft it and supply a content-validity template for your expert panel. The validation itself is done by your panel.
Which languages can the consent form be in?
English plus every local language your IEC asks for, as many as apply, at no extra charge.
