What is calendar time
What is clock time
This happens after the investigator identifies tasks that need to be completed
What is identify people to carry out tasks
Typically, the biggest burden on a researcher's financial budget is this.
Cost of research staff.
These types of trade offs involve time, geographic, and population dimensions.
What is generalizability?
Confidentiality and informed consent are issues for any researchers when it comes to this
What is authorization?
Name the process that involves listing the activities that must be preformed to complete the project
What is a time budget?
This describes how long each person should be working on each task
What is person-loading table?
Calculating a budget beforehand will help a researcher to determine this.
Project Feasibility
This is one of the external limitations of research design that results in design trade off.
What are financial resources, staff skills, time, and quality of available data?
this type of study allows the researcher to verify client flow, enrollment and attendance data, program or service capacity, and willingness to participate

Researchers should not just focus on validity, reliability and sensitivity of their project but should also consider this.
Efficiency
The more precise the measure required, the greater the amount of this is needed.
What are resources?
This is the most salient difference between applied research and basic research
What is the location of the research?
In most research cases these aspects are underrated
What are time and cost of project?
An investigator should prepare this in order to determine if an observer is prepared to conduct research
What is a skills matrix?
Can be used to calculate personnel costs - multiplying hours individuals are involved by their hourly costs.
Person-loading chart
Within measurement, due to time and cost, a researcher may have to decide to compromise one of these two aspects of measurement.
What are breadth and depth?
This is a major factor to why studies may fail
What is Site Cooperation?
A watch or a clock can tell you this
What is time?
The investigator should check the person-loading chart against this to ensure all tasks can be completed in the allotted time
Hourly costs for individuals involved in research should include not just their salary and benefits but also these.
In regards to the conclusiveness of findings, these are the two major categories that research is divided into.
What are exploratory and confirmatory?
