Study Start-Up

Study start-up includes both the study activation and set-up processes. Study activation involves approval of the contract, budget, and Institutional Review Board (IRB) protocol. Study set-up includes coordination with the relevant UMMC support offices and creation of a study record in the clinical trials management system.
