With your IR team, discuss the following questions in relation to your IR project:

• How many participants do you need for your research? How did you determine this number?
• What sampling strategy will you use to select your participants? If you are using multiple research methods, either as part of a mixed-methods approach, or to address multiple research questions, be sure to answer these questions for each of your study components.
• Do you expect any biases resulting from your sampling strategy? How will you mitigate these?
