What sort of project am I doing?
It is important to be clear about the distinction between research and other types of investigative projects such as audit or service evaluation project.
The R&D Unit has a guidance document to help investigators determine what sort of investigative project they are planning. Refer to R&D/G04
Guidance on data analysis and drawing conclusions is also available. Refer to R&D/G08 This may help investigators to determine what sort of project they are undertaking.
The R&D Unit can only advise on studies classified as research studies.
For audit and service evaluation studies please contact the Clinical Effectiveness Team, effectivenessteam@york.nhs.uk
NOTE: ALL investigative projects must be registered in the Trust through the R&D Unit and ALL Clinical Audits & Local Service Evaluations must be registered with the Clinical Effectiveness Team.
