clinical research site is on
target to meet diversity
goals.
Study participant engagement also includes
identifying the needs of
the study population,
marketing and advertising,
screening, budgeting, and
the retention plan.
A list of the research team
members including their
email addresses is a useful
part of the research study
charter. The information can
be towards the end of the
charter and can also include
phone numbers if desired by
the team.

The research study
charter includes a list of
9 individuals
stakeholders,
who are important and have
some level of impact on
the project. On a research
project, stakeholders might
include participants, other
patients with the disease
being studied, and staff in
the healthcare setting.
Operations
Project management operations
in research should be kept simple
(see Table 4 on next page). The

(i.e. Microsoft Teams) along

Translational Sciences Institute
has access to Smartsheets;
however, the authors primarily

projects and studies they
manage. Using only one project
management system increases
consistently and ef昀椀ciency.
Having the right operational
structures in place makes it
easier to “build the plane while
昀氀ying it” because the project
manager and the research team
are familiar with the project
management system.

Microsoft Teams is a tool
