Note: All startup activities may not appear on the checklist. Revise as appropriate to meet the needs of your protocol and research site. Use this tool to assess overall feasibility of conducting the protocol. The tool prompts the PI and study team to assess major factors needed to successfully conduct the study. Factors such as protocol complexity, access to target population, recruitment capability, staffing resources, and projected budget needs are assessed.
ICH CGP E6 – 4.2
Use this tool as part of pre-study activities to assess adequate access to the target population, to document the site’s plan for recruitment and retention of participants, and to properly budget for recruitment and retention activities.

Checklist of visit-specific tasks, activities, and procedures to be conducted before, during, and after the study visit. The visit checklist is not a case-report form (CRF) or source document. It is a tool to remind study coordinators of protocol and site specific procedures necessary to ensure a smooth visit flow.
The participant contact form is used for easy access to the participant’s contact information. Review the form with the participant periodically to ensure information is still current. Update as needed.

Use this form to record demographic information required for protocol eligibility.
Medical History Log - Template 1
Use a medical history log to document past diagnoses, signs and symptoms, and surgeries or procedures the participant experienced prior to screening.
Use the AE Log to record and track adverse event information. Use a concomitant medications log to record prescription drugs, over the counter drugs, supplements, and illicit drugs taken by the participant at trial entry and throughout the duration of the trial.
Use the vital signs measurements form to document the participant’s vital signs.
The physical exam form is used to document completion and findings of the physical exam assessment.
The case report form and source document template is used to record participant data collected during the study. Because data to be collected is protocol driven, it is imperative to use the protocol, schedule of activities, and other protocol related documents when creating the form. Sections of the form that include source data must be signed by the person collecting the data.
Progress notes are narrative notes documenting details of participant interactions, phone calls, clinical status, noncompliance, and other noteworthy information about the participant during study participation.

Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) Templates
In clinical research, Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) are intended to define a department’s (or unit’s, division’s, institution’s, etc...) standard practices and daily processes which are conducted to assure execution of research tasks in accordance with institutional, state and federal guidance. SOPs should contain enough detail to guide research staff through a particular procedure, and thereby establish uniformity in the everyday functions of the department. It should have a specific aim, but be written in a general format, to allow for easy implementation across a broad set of venues and circumstances. A UAB SOP workgroup developed template SOPs that are available for your use. These are drafts and should be tailored to your area.
