How Does Financial Mismanagement Affect Epidemiological Research?
Financial mismanagement can affect epidemiological research in several ways:
Delayed Projects: Insufficient funding or misallocation of resources can delay the initiation and completion of research projects. Data Quality: Inadequate funding can lead to the use of substandard data collection methods, affecting the reliability and validity of research findings. Resource Allocation: Poor financial management can result in resources being diverted from high-priority areas to less critical ones. Staffing Issues: Mismanagement can lead to underpayment or delayed payment of research staff, affecting morale and productivity.
