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.
