Thesis protocol in DNB Training: NBE issues Notice highlighting new evaluation process

New Delhi: Thesis submission is an important part of DNB training. National Board of Examinations (NBE) informs that the thesis protocol evaluated by subject matter experts and the outcome of the protocol is thereafter communicated to the concerned candidate.

NBE informs the concerned DNB candidates undergoing DNB training in an accredited hospital that they have to submit his/her thesis protocol to NBE within 3 months of commencement of the DNB training.

In its notice, the NBE stated that from 2019 January admission session, the competent authority of NBE has decided to do away with the evaluation of the thesis protocol at the level of NBE. From now onwards, the concerned NBE accredited hospital shall be required to evaluate the thesis protocol at its own level through Institutional Ethics Committee (IEC) and Scientific Research Committee (SRC) and approve the thesis protocol for carrying out the research work. The constitution of IEC & SRC has to be in accordance with the guidelines prescribed by NBE and are at Annexure 1 & 2 respectively.

After the thesis protocol has been assessed and evaluated by IEC & SRC and has been approved for carrying out the research work, the same has to be communicated to NBE in the prescribed format which is at Annexure 3 which contains Thesis Protocol Approval Letter (Institutional Ethics Committee & Scientific Research Committee and its Composition).

This Thesis Protocol Approval Letter has to be submitted to NBE within 3 months of joining of DNB candidate in the concerned hospital for DNB training.

The DNB coordinators / academic in charges/head of the institutions have also been requested to comply with the above and adhere with the prescribed timelines so that candidates get ample time to do meaningful research work.

INTRODUCTION

Research is defined as a systematic methodological scientific approach for basicfacts in order to find solutions based on these facts. Research investigations may be

carried out in one of two ways: interventional studies (experiments) or non

interventional surveys of naturally occurring phenomenon (descriptive andanalytical studies).

It is assumed that the protocol for a research proposal is a study plan, designed todescribe the objectives, background, methodology, organization, the participants,

interventional procedures and assessment tools of the trial. One may begin to write

a clinical protocol after many discussions among numerous individuals. Hence, we

can say that the protocol is a selfcontained document or the operating manual torefer to while conducting the research related activities.

The style used in writing research protocols depends on the skills and personality of

the candidate writing the protocol. He should refer to the Contents of a ThesisProtocol in the (NBE Guidelines) before the writing phase commences. The minimal

writing requirements are that the language should be clear, concise, precise andconsistent without excessive adjectives or adverbs and long sentences. There should

not be any redundancy in the presentation.

After the development of the first draft of the protocol he should read and rewrite as

often as necessary before the copies are submitted to other individuals for review.In reviewing ones own draft, it is helpful to question whether (1) each section is

placed in the appropriate order, (2) each paragraph within a section is placed in the

appropriate order to carry ideas and statements forward smoothly and without

gaps or sudden changes in direction or logic and (3) each sentence is having definitemeaning and is required for inclusion in the protocol. Introductory phrases at the

start of sentences that do not add meaning to the sentence should be deleted. Checkfor colloquialisms or clichs and replace them with more appropriate terms. Finally,

read each sentence by itself, for its connotations as well as denotations, before

deciding whether it conveys the intended meaning and should remain in the

Scientific writing is often made confusing when different terms are used but they

have the same or approximately the same definition. Thus a concept such as adversereactions should be written using the same single term throughout the protocol and

not sometimes as adverse experiences, adverse events, medicine reactions, adversemedicine reactions, side effects or untoward effects, unless different definitions are

intended. Other examples of when a single word or term should be used throughout

the protocol (unless differences are intended and are defined) include (1) medicine

or drug, (2) volunteers, patients or subjects (3) clinical study or clinical trial (4)disease, condition or problem (5) case report form or data collection form.

4 NBE: NBE Guidelines for Preparation & Submission of Thesis Protocol 2013

The most obvious technique for improving the quality of the protocol as alreadystated is reviewing of the protocol as critically as possible by the student. Another

established method for improving the quality of the protocol lies with the Thesis

Guide and Co Guide. It is their responsibility to proof read the protocol in terms ofboth the content and format. Finally the protocols have to be approved by the

research committee of the hospital attached and the Ethics Committee.

The development or preparation of the Thesis Protocol by the candidate will help

him in understanding the ongoing research activities in his area of interest. Further

it helps in creating practical exposure to research and hence it bridges the

connectivity between clinical practice and biomedical research. Such researchexposure will be helpful in improving problem solving capacity, updating with

ongoing research and implementing these findings in clinical practice.

5 NBE: NBE Guidelines for Preparation & Submission of Thesis Protocol 2013

The general information should be provided on the Title Page as:

i) A good title should be short, accurate, informative, and concise; it should avoid

abbreviations. It should also reflect the details of the study undertaken e.g., whethera prospective or a retrospective study / whether a crosssectional or a randomized

trial / whether an equivalence or superiority or inferiority trial etc.? [Titles like: A

study on prevalence on asthma in North India (hospital based) should not beencouraged]

ii) The name and title of the investigator who is responsible for conducting the

iii) The address and telephone numbers of the site

The summary should give a clear idea to the reader regarding the central questionthat the research is intended to answer and also its justification. It should specify

the hypothesis (if applicable) and the research objectives. In addition, the summary

should briefly describe the methods and procedures laid out in the methodology.The anticipated outcome of the study must also be mentioned.

This is critical in any protocol. It familiarizes the readers with the background of the

issue at hand. It is crucial that this is handled well. It must reflect why the issue istopical and its current importance in the vast sea of research being done globally.

This is another crucial area in a protocol. The review must be precise and concise.Unrelated articles in a review only serve to make the thesis bulky. This is against the

trend nowadays. Most universities specify the number of pages the thesis is

restricted to. An excellent review of literature brings out the lacunae in literatureand helps in generating a research question for the candidate to work on.

This is the most critical aspect to be tackled while selecting a topic. This reflects the

candidates diligence in reviewing the topic at hand. Only after the topic is reviewedwell does the candidate or researcher find out the areas in the selected topic which

need answers or are inadequately researched.

6 NBE: NBE Guidelines for Preparation & Submission of Thesis Protocol 2013

2(f) RESEARCHQUESTION

This is vital to any research proposal. Unless a valid question has been formulated

by the candidate which seeks a cogent answer the whole exercise may become

redundant. ONLY VALID QUESTIONS NEED TO BE RESEARCHED FOR SEEKING THERIGHT ANSWERS.

2(g) AIMSANDOBJECTIVES

The Aims refers to what would be achieved by this study or how this study would

address a bigger question / issue. The Objectives of the research stem from the

research question formulated and should at least include participants, intervention,evaluation, design. There should be ideally a primary objective which is the main

focus of the research proposal. The secondary objectives are the other aspects in theresearch proposal which need answers. These may include the adverse effects or the

adverse events.

METHODS: This section should include the following:

(i) Study area: The patient recruitment area (outpatient and / or inpatient of a

department in the hospital) must be listed out.

(ii) Study population: The target population to be enrolled in the study must bedefined and then patients are selected from the target population as per the

listed out inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Sample size: The number of subjects to be recruited into the study must belisted out.

Study design: The designs are experimental, descriptive or analytical. A

typical experimental design must include whether it is an open label / single

blind / double blind study, whether it is an active or placebo controlled and

whether it is an crossover or parallel design (e.g., double blind, placebocontrolled, parallel design).

A description of the measures taken to minimize / avoid bias includingrandomization and blinding, maintenance of randomization codes and

procedures for breaking codes must also be listed out.

Study intervention if any should be listed out in detail.

(vi) Studyduration: A description regarding duration of subject participationincluding followup if any and description of discontinuation criteria must

be listed out.

7 NBE: NBE Guidelines for Preparation & Submission of Thesis Protocol 2013

(vii) Methodofmeasurementofoutcomeof interest: The outcome variable

(primary and secondary) and its measurements must be defined clearly byavoiding all possible biases. The visits at which these measurements are to

be assessed and recorded must be listed out.

Methods:All the definitions of the variables and the quality

control issues regarding them must be mentioned.

Forms: All the data pertaining to the research (including

the medical history, medication history and physical examination) must be

entered onto to the data collection forms directly or transcribed from

laboratory or other forms.

2(i) STATISTICALMETHODS

This is also a critical aspect of research. The section on statistics should include thefollowing parts, namely, statistical hypothesis and sample size determination,

definition of analysis set, analysis of demographic data and baseline characteristics,analysis of efficacy and safety parameters. The statistics should also define the

analysis sets clearly from which conclusions of the study are to be derived. It is

important that the candidate decides on a sample size using the statistical formulae.Even if a sample size of convenience is used ultimately (due to time constraints in

thesis) this should be reflected in the work.

CONSIDERATION

It must be noted that the clearance of the research proposal by the EthicsCommittee is compulsory for all the studies including the ones without

interventions.

REFERENCES:

Relevant references must be listed out in Vancouver style. The habit of listing crossreferences without even reading them must be discouraged; sometimes foreign

language cross references is quoted. This is wrong. It must be seen that the

references are topical and current. The thesis with majority references being veryold shows that the candidate has not reviewed the topic well.

The Patient Information Sheet and the Informed Consent Form in English andVernacular Languages, Questionnaires, Measurement tools, Data Collection Forms,

etc. should be enclosed in the Annexure

8 NBE: NBE Guidelines for Preparation & Submission of Thesis Protocol 2013

3(a) It is mandatory to have ethics committee approval before initiation of theresearch work.

3(b) The researcher should submit an appropriate application to the ethicscommittee in a prescribed format of the ethics committee concerned. The following

documents should be submitted for review:

Protocol:The research protocol prepared having all the contents

required for a Thesis Protocol as per the NBE Guidelines.

(ii) Patient Information Sheet (PIS) in English and / or vernacular languages.

(iii) The protocol must be accompanied by the PIS addressed to the subject thathe is being asked to take part in a research study. The information provided

to him should be in simple language which he can read and understand sothat he can decide to take part in the study or refuse to take part in the study

after discussing with his family doctor or his family members. The PIS mustinclude information on the following and a copy of this must be given to the

1. What is the background to and purpose of the study?

2. Do I have to take part?3.

What will happen to me if I take part?

What do I have to do?

5. What are the possible side effects, risks and discomforts of taking part?

What are the possible benefits of taking part?7. What if new information becomes available?

8. What are the costs of taking part?9.

How will my personal data be used?

Will there be provision for free treatment for research related injury?

11. Will compensation be paid to the subjects if disability or death results from

such injury?12.

Whom should I contact if I need more information or help?

(iv) Informed Consent Form (ICF) in English and / or vernacular languages:

The subjects informed consent should be taken on the form that he or hislegally acceptable representative can read and understand. The format of the

ICF must be as follows:
