Staff within CSURES are able to develop the necessary documentation to support research studies, setting out a clear chain from the initial conceptualisation of research through to the execution, analysis and writing up of research findings. This ensures that at each step in the process funders and regulators can be provided with a clear history of how the research has evolved and how it has been implemented. The document creation process encompasses the development of full study protocols setting out the aims and research methods to be used, informed consent documentation, survey measurement instruments, statistical analysis plans, and the coding of data.
