Research – Data Gathering

The more information available at the outset of any research project, the less time the project is likely to take and the easier it is to provide meaningful assessments of the likely cost and time of research.

While this is not an interactive form, the hope is that it provides sufficient questions and prompts to help gather and summarise the most relevant information.

For each person, the following information, if known, should be supplied.
