The timeline for completing our work is contingent on receiving the data from the investigator in a timely manner and appropriate format. Consulting with a biostatistician at the study design or data acquisition phase is highly recommended. We will try our best to accommodate any time constraints you may have, but please understand that we are working on multiple projects with their own deadlines. General guidelines for the time needed are as follows:
Obtain expert guidance on how to plan, design, implement and evaluate your research project using qualitative methodology.
