Study Planning

The most important phase of an applied research project is the design stage. We assist in the design and planning of your research study providing the following services:

Identifying the Appropriate Research Study Design

• Defining the objectives and hypothesis of the study
• Determining the outcome variables and covariates
• Selecting the appropriate study design:

• Observational or experimental study
• Prospective or retrospective study
• Longitudinal or cross-sectional study

Sample Size Calculations - Power Analysis

We help calculate the appropriate sample size required for detecting the underlying biological phenomena with sufficient power, and use multivariate power analysis in order to examine the relationship between the sample size, power, alpha error and effect size parameters.

Data Collection and Data Management

We assist in storing, managing and processing your data, recommend the appropriate data collection instruments and help prepare your data for analysis.
