Organizing Data

​

Health Research

 

Health research aims to find better ways to treat, prevent and cure disease.  

 

This vital component of healthcare can take multiple forms and present a variety of risks and opportunities. Whether it is a clinical trial, secondary data research, research ethics board protocol review, or a material transfer agreement, we keep the aims of the study top of mind while advising researchers, funders, and health care organizations. We also advise on deidentification of data for research purposes, and questions of research versus quality.

 

Our services include:

  • Agreements - Material transfer, clinical trial, data sharing, basic science

  • Research ethics board advice

  • Research misconduct

  • Protocol reviews

  • Informed consents

  • Deidentified data
