ABSTRACT
Project planning is a basic requirement for any research endeavor, regardless of its purpose or methodological bent. It is necessary to consider such matters as study design, funding, staffing, sampling, data analysis, and the reporting of findings. In intervention research, general considerations such as these pertain, but certain factors receive particular emphasis or unique treatment. This discussion of planning for intervention research assumes that readers are familiar with research planning generally, or can readily access such information in other available published sources. I will focus on the more distinctive features, with special reference to design and development.
