 Creating your research protocol: Your roadmap for scholarly work

As individuals working in healthcare, we may have questions about nursing practice or best practice in identifying or treating certain diseases. Formulation of a searchable practice question can guide us through our medical library in searching and synthesizing best and most current evidence. But sometimes our search in the evidence may identify knowledge gaps (lack of evidence). When we encounter this, it is an opportunity to generate new knowledge through research. The first step in conducting research is creating the research protocol. This document serves as the map to complete the project, answer the hypothesis or accomplish the study aim and also serves as the first draft/outline of your manuscript for publishing your research. This presentation will discuss elements to be included in research protocols and encourage participation in scholarly work.

Contract management and negotiation is a critical part of any research study. Contracts are an important mechanism to facilitate collaboration and related activities such as data or materials transfer. The goal is to enable a researcher’s work to happen, while protecting the researcher’s interest and the interests of the institution. The speaker will discuss:

•  The importance of having a detailed scope of work, protocol, and budget
•  Managing data and materials, including issues of origination and risks
•  Common issues in negotiating research contracts
