Help a Junior Investigator: Brief Survey
I need your help! I am a doctoral student in Regulatory Science at the University of Southern California. To meet the requirements to graduate I am conducting an exploratory study on current practices of investigators in the management of clinical trial agreements. Some experts in the field believe this is a problematic area and needs attention. However an in-depth literature search found little data on this issue. I need investigators throughout the U.S., who conduct industry-sponsored studies, to complete a brief survey to collect data on current practices. The survey consists of 30 questions and generally takes less than 10 minutes to complete. I know we are all very busy and investigators extremely so, but I would greatly appreciate your assistance in forwarding this request to investigators you think would be willing to participate. If you have any questions feel free to contact me at (510) 909-3801 or at joann_pfeiffer@yahoo.com or you may contact my advisor Dr. Frances Richmond at fjr@usc.edu. Thank you for your assistance. If I can serve as a regulatory resource to you or your organization please feel free to contact me. I would be happy to provide assistance. Sincerely, JoAnn Pfeiffer Doctoral Candidate Regulatory Science, University of Southern California
