In this module we will cover two different types of research which may either require nominated signatory review, or may form the basis of claims which require review.

1. Market research - systematic gathering and interpretation of quantitative or qualitative data on the market environment. It may be conducted with health professionals or patients.
2. Non interventional studies – Falling under the umbrella of “Real World Studies” these utilize data collected through observation of ‘current clinical practice’ and/or patient reported experience. They do not involve any intervention (experimental or otherwise) on the part of the investigator.
