Key Features
Everything you need to get the most out of Study Steward.
Structured Study Launch Plans
Turn a rough study idea into phases, owners, deliverables, blockers, and next actions across protocol, recruitment, data capture, analysis, and closeout.
Ethics and Consent Preparation
Draft practical checklists for participant groups, consent elements, risk factors, safeguards, and local review questions before IRB or REC submission.
Data Management and Handoff Planning
Outline data types, storage locations, access groups, sharing intent, retention, open questions, and the packet items needed for review or team handoff.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Study Steward an ethics approval tool?
No. Study Steward is a beta planning assistant. It helps draft checklists and identify missing information, but your institution, funder, IRB, REC, data protection office, or research office remains the authority.
What kinds of studies can it help plan?
It is useful for surveys, interviews, classroom projects, lab workflows, thesis studies, collaborative projects, grant-funded studies, and mixed-methods projects that need operational structure.
Does it search or review papers?
No. Study Steward is intentionally focused on study operations, compliance preparation, data planning, timelines, and submission readiness. Use other ChatAcademia agents for paper discovery, citation, or literature workflows.
What should I verify before using its output?
Verify local review categories, consent language, data retention rules, repository or funder requirements, collaboration agreements, and any clinical or legal requirements with the appropriate office.
