Research Protocol & Synopsis Support
Research question, objectives, design, eligibility criteria, sample size, data collection and statistical analysis plans — structured for institutional and ethics committee review.
The challenge
Why this matters
A synopsis or protocol is often the first formal document reviewed by your department and Institutional Ethics Committee (IEC). Unclear eligibility criteria, an unjustified sample size or a missing analysis plan are common reasons for revisions and delays.

FAQs
Questions about protocol & synopsis
Do you help with ethics committee submissions?
We help you prepare a clear, complete protocol and review the documents your IEC asks for. Submission and approval remain with you and your institution.
Do you help with sample size calculation?
Yes. We calculate sample size based on your primary outcome, design and values from published literature, and document every assumption so you can justify it to your department or ethics committee.
