Plan before you begin
Protocol & Registration Support
Turn an agreed research question into a plan your team can follow.
A protocol makes the important decisions explicit before the work begins. We help translate your research question into a coherent set of methods and prepare materials for an appropriate registry when your project is eligible.
Who this helps
For teams with a defined research question who need protocol development or revision. Systematic review and original-study engagements have different requirements, which are established before quotation.
What you receive
- Structured protocol draft
- Background, objectives, design, eligibility criteria, outcomes, and a clear account of how the study or review will be conducted.
- Planned methods
- An analysis or synthesis plan appropriate to the design, including assumptions, missing-data considerations, subgroup questions, and sensitivity analyses where relevant.
- Registration preparation
- Draft entries mapped to the selected registry’s requirements when the project is eligible, with outstanding investigator decisions identified.
- Decisions and amendments record
- A list of unresolved items and a way to record subsequent methodological changes transparently.
Scope to agree before work starts
Registry eligibility and timing are checked for the specific project. Registration acceptance, ethics approval, and institutional approval are decisions of the relevant bodies. Investigators retain responsibility for submissions and scientific decisions. Search execution, data collection, and completed analysis are separate unless quoted.
Questions about this service
Do you guarantee PROSPERO registration?
No. Eligibility depends on the review and the registry’s current criteria. We assess the appropriate route and prepare materials; the registry makes its own decision.
Can you revise a protocol after work has started?
Yes, with the project stage made explicit. Changes should be documented honestly as amendments; completed or data-informed decisions cannot be represented as prospectively specified.
How does this relate to study design consultation?
Study Design Consultation helps choose a suitable design and statistical approach. This package develops the agreed decisions into a protocol and, where applicable, registration materials.
