This is an example of the CRF Feasibility Form. To ensure the example of this document can be widely viewed it has been converted into PDF format. Unfortunately the contents of the drop-down lists cannot be viewed in the PDF format but it is hoped that this example document will highlight the type of questions that are asked during a CRF Feasibility Meeting.
