About this website
This website is designed to support those conducting pilot and feasibility studies using randomised and non-randomised designs and those carrying out methodological research on these types of studies.
We aim to keep the site updated with the latest publications and guidelines, as well as discussions and events related to pilot and feasibility studies. Visit our resources for pilot and feasibility studies and noticeboard pages to find out more.
We recognise that this website is unlikely ever to contain an exhaustive list of resources. However, we want it to be as useful as possible and we therefore welcome contributions from the research community to help us keep it up to date.
Please contact us with feedback, items for our notice-board, or suggestions for resources to add.
