An essential step in clinical research, after you’ve secured funding and established the parameters of your project, is organizing a staff that will enable you to conduct the study. If you’re already working in a clinical setting, you’ll most likely have a staff of health care professionals and administrators to assist you with patients. However, if you don’t have access to these resources, you’ll need to carefully consider your staffing needs. The first step, if you haven’t already done so, is to spend some time determining the type of people you need. Then—and only then—should you attempt the next steps: finding the right clinical research personnel and interviewing prospective staff members before, finally, selecting your clinical research staff.
