Biomedical research is challenging in a lot of ways. Not least of which is the lack of financing for research to be carried out efficiently and effectively. Many projects in the field compete over limited research grants and a lack of financial backing can result in a project’s complete loss of any usable results.
Additionally, finding good respondents for biomedical research is a difficult process. If the participants in the research don’t respond to issues raised by the researchers, there’s little hope of generating usable data. This lack of commitment is a difficult obstacle to overcome.
Biomedical research also suffers from outdated approaches due to a lack of access to sufficient data. Insufficient information can lead to poor results in research that do not align with current best practices and expectations in the field.
