FOR INVESTIGATORS AND RESEARCH TEAMS
Move an EFIC protocol from concept to implementation
Experienced guidance helps investigators anticipate regulatory expectations, plan meaningful community engagement, and establish a practical path to study activation.
A clearer path through EFIC
Many strong emergency research protocols face delays because the EFIC pathway is unfamiliar, resource intensive, and difficult to standardize. Support early in protocol development can identify risks before they become barriers.
- Review the protocol through an EFIC implementation lens
- Define the community consultation and public disclosure strategy
- Prepare materials for IRB and stakeholder review
- Develop realistic timelines, staffing plans, and site workflows
- Address community feedback with measured, documented responses
Support that complements the research team
EFIC Support works alongside investigators, coordinators, regulatory staff, and institutional leadership. The objective is not to replace local expertise, but to provide the specialized EFIC experience needed to strengthen planning and execution.
When to engage
Protocol development
Evaluate feasibility and incorporate EFIC requirements before timelines and budgets are fixed.
Pre-IRB preparation
Strengthen the EFIC plan, supporting materials, and response strategy before formal review.
Implementation challenges
Resolve operational barriers, inconsistent site practices, or gaps in community engagement.
Start the conversation
Share the protocol stage, number of anticipated sites, target enrollment setting, and the areas where your team needs support.
