The DAC Assessment Tool (DAT)

The DAT is a questionnaire which may be used by PIs and their teams to consider when designing informative studies. While not all points are relevant to all studies, in general they are intended to promote sound and proven scientific methodology combined with the use of recent innovations in trial design.

Completed DATs help identify gaps in study planning that need to be addressed with funding and technical partnerships before a study is finalized or initiated.
