Info: Title: Designing Stronger Women’s Health Research: How a CRSC Feasibility Review Can Help
Designing a successful women’s health study requires thoughtful planning around recruitment, logistics, and participant burden—particularly when working with underrepresented populations. This session introduces the Clinical Research Support Center’s feasibility review process and includes a guided discussion with Dr. Linda Koehler and Dr. Sarah Hoffman, who will share how early feasibility feedback informed their study design. Together, we’ll highlight how early input can strengthen protocols, reduce delays, and support successful study launch.
