    Why Protocol Builder

    Protocol Builder offers easy to use features developed by protocol writing and usability experts

    • Automatic Set Up

      Simple & Quick Set-Up

      Enter basic information, and appropriate protocol sections are set up automatically based on protocol type. Protocol Builder can help you determine the type of study, as well as whether or not you need an IND or IDE application.

    • Protocol Duplication

      Stay Efficient

      Instead of creating a new protocol, you can duplicate an existing protocol to repurpose the contents and reference

    • Advanced Editing Tools

      Better Protocol Building

      Insert references, tables, appendices, abbreviations and glossary terms easily as you write. Those sections are then set up automatically at the end of the document.

    • Expert Guidance

      Guidance Along the Way

      Receive relevant instructions and expert tips as you go through the protocol. You’ll also find sample protocols in the Resource Center that you can use for reference or as a template.

    • Share, Review, Compare Revisions

      Collaborate with Peers

      Invite others to review and add comments directly into the appropriate sections. Compare revisions made to a particular section. Accept or disregard them. 

    • Summary of Changes

      Stay Informed of Protocol Updates

      Review all recent changes to a protocol and enter a rationale for each one. This information will be used to create a Summary of Changes page, which can be included if a protocol needs to be resubmitted.

    • Reference Management

      The Best of Reference Management Integration

      Pull in reference management libraries, such as Endnote, RefWorks, Mendeley, and PubMed.
