Clinical site start-up Gantt timeline
A clinical site start-up Gantt timeline places regulatory, contract, operations and training work on one calendar. Ethics approval is shown as a key milestone, while agreement negotiation and study-supply setup proceed in their own lanes. Training and a readiness review lead to site activation, followed by first-participant screening. This format is useful for a high-level coordination view. It does not replace the study protocol, sponsor procedures, regulatory submissions or the detailed start-up checklist required for a real study.
