The following objectives are part of this course: • Create/select well-founded research hypothesis and study designs for a specific research topic • Apply universal good clinical practice guidelines in future research projects • Integrate well-documented data management and open science principles into future research projects • Integrate principles of effective communication in speaking, writing and graphical illustrations of future research idea/output |
| Inhalt | The course will cover the following topics: • Introduction to different study designs and ethical requirements thereof in Switzerland • Introduction to literature search and searching platforms • How to collect and sort publications/ keep up to date on research topic • Inputs on critically evaluating papers • How to pre-define study requirements to "future-proof" the research (hypothesis, sample size definition, pre-registration) • Correct conduction of fundamental human research procedures (e.g., screening, consent process, CRF) and identification/prevention of deviations and emergencies (e.g., SAE/AE, protocol violation, research misconduct) • Principles of reproducible and integral study documentation and data management (e.g., definition of source files, SOP/WI, Master Trial File, metafiles) • FAIR principles and open science • Design principles and free digital tools for graphical illustrations • Effective summarizing of research output/topic in an abstract and pitch presentation |
