Short presentation
Shaun is a trial methodologist interested in informative and efficient trial design. He leads Trial Forge (http://www.trialforge.org).
Biography
Shaun is a trial methodologist interested in efficient trial design, particularly around inclusive recruitment and retention. He led the development of the NIHR INCLUDE Ethnicity Framework, a tool to help trialists design inclusive trials, PRO EDI, a tool to help systematic reviewers consider equity in their reviews, and PRECIS-2, a tool to match trial design decisions to what the users of the results need.
He leads an initiative called Trial Forge (http://www.trialforge.org) that aims to be more systematic about how we identify, generate and use research evidence in making trial design, conduct, analysis and reporting decisions.
Research
The Trial Forge site gives a good summary of the sort of thing I'm doing: http://www.trialforge.org.
