PRAISE FOR THE FIRST EDITION: "...much needed and provides essentially all of the basic information required by investigators involved in clinical research. ...an important resource for institutional libraries..." --THE NEW ENGLAND JOURNAL OF MEDICINE

"...it really is a step-by-step DIY book for the uninitiated proposal writer. Full of practical advice, top tips and the ever-useful 'Supplemental reading' section, it even has a sample face sheet and a study design 'tick list'." --IMMUNOLOGY NEWS

"Principles and Practice of Clinical Research, 3rd Edition is 80% larger than the second edition.  Most of the authors are with the National Institutes of Health, but the material is largely applicable to both government- and industry-funded research…This book has been selected for The First Clinical Research Bookshelf, essential reading for clinical research professionals." --Journal of Clinical Research Best Practices, May 2013

The third edition of this innovative work again provides a unique perspective on the clinical discovery process by providing input from experts within the NIH on the principles and practice of clinical research. Molecular medicine, genomics, and proteomics have opened vast opportunities for translation of basic science observations to the bedside through clinical research. As an introductory reference it gives clinical investigators in all fields an awareness of the tools required to ensure research protocols are well designed and comply with the rigorous regulatory requirements necessary to maximize the safety of research subjects. Complete with sections on the history of clinical research and ethics, copious figures and charts, and sample documents it serves as an excellent companion text for any course on clinical research and as a must-have reference for seasoned researchers.
