From study conception through development of a completed protocol

Development

Researchers conducting human subjects research at Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital or in collaboration with any Johns Hopkins University Affiliated / Integrated sites agree to follow Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and IRB Policies and Guidelines.
When a protocol is sponsored by an external sponsor (e.g. pharmaceutical company, consortium, etc.) the development stage is conducted by the sponsor and does not occur at Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital . 

When a protocol is investigator-initiated and developed, several Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital resources and support services may be accessed during this phase. 

• Epic Slicer/Dicer Self-Serve Reporting Tool can be used to help determine patient study populations:
  • Provides users with intuitive and customizable data
  • Provides users with data to investigate a hunch and to help refine their searches instantly
  • Provides trends, drill down to line-level details
  • Ability to jump to related records to follow-up

Please click link to additional Slicer/Dicer information.

Additional training can be found in MyLearning and searching for this module. This module will show you how 
Slicer/Dicer can be used for any type of work. This module focuses on financial, but research would be done the same way.
