What is the timeline for preparing for research abroad?
Developing your own original research project takes time, and you will need at least 2-3 months to prepare fully. It is possible to prepare a research study in less time, but this is not advised. Thus, it is important to stay on top of the process, as there are time-sensitive requirements. Contact your university’s IRB to find out how long the approval process will take. Keep in mind that the IRB may ask you to amend or edit your proposal, which may add time. Also, deciding on a topic may be time consuming. You may wish to obtain feedback from your advisor and the staff at Unite For Sight. Furthermore, conducting a literature review will take time as you will likely need to read through many articles and research abstracts. Lastly, writing your research proposal will be an involved process with many revisions. We ask that you submit a draft of your proposal to Unite For Sight so that we can provide feedback and send it to the eye clinic for further input.
