About this template

Studies drift when nobody registered what they were for. This initiation record puts seventeen fields down before work starts: project name, sponsor, context, objectives, scope, research method, timeline and milestones, planned start and end dates, budget, risks and assumptions, the decision the research will inform, the target population and sample plan, approval authority, sign-off and approval date. The result is a registry of active studies instead of scattered knowledge, and every later request can be traced to a registered decision.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this replace a full ResearchOps repository?
It registers projects with their metadata; artifacts live where your team keeps them — the form links, not stores.
Who is allowed to register a study?
The owner at kickoff; keep it one record per study and edit in place as status changes.
Is there a template for closing records?
Add a "report delivered" section with links and decisions taken; registry completeness beats database elegance.
How to prevent duplicate studies?
Make "related past studies" a required search-before field — visibility of the registry is the duplication brake.
Can stakeholders browse it?
Export or share the response list; stakeholder questions get answered by pointing at records instead of meetings.
Is it free to use across teams?
Yes — keep a free registry copy per team or program; every registration stays searchable inside that team’s own log.
