The phrase 'in between' does not work. The reader is left wondering 'in between what?'

Just say
The research lasted five years with the participants not taking any vacations.

Thank you, Clive.

I did feel if in between was appropriate there.

She will meet us at five tomorrow evening. In between I will prepare the plan which we can discuss with her.

I think in between is fine here.

It still sounds odd there. I'd say eg 'Before then'.
