As conducting clinical trials is a high priority at most major institutions, we, the clinical research staff (nurses, study coordinators and research study assistants) play an important and supportive role in clinical trial activities. We provide administrative assistance to investigators, are responsible for submission of regulatory documents to the Institutional Review Committees, handling and sometimes distributing investigational drugs and data collection/entry. However, the most important responsibility we all have, is to ensure that our study participants receive high quality, scrupulously monitored care while protecting their rights and improving their well being.
With all of the above in mind, I hope you will find the resources and tools on this website useful and will help you to enhance your commitment to clinical research, so it can be said “A Trial Well Done”!
Thank you!
