Templates for Clinical or Epidemiological Research

What Are Research Templates?

Research templates are pre-established forms designed to guide you in conducting your research and preparing submission files. INSPECT-LB is suggesting the following documents to help you throughout the process: study proposal, written consent form, ethical approval form, and conflict of interest (COI) declaration.

For INSPECT-LB Members

These templates are required when asking for funds or seeking ethics approval from INSPECT-LB.
