  • Sign off on source documents and regulatory paperwork where delegated
  • Represent the site during sponsor visits, monitoring visits, audits, or inspections as designated

Operational Support (As Needed)

  • Assist with participant scheduling, visit logistics, and protocol calendars, particularly to help cover gaps in coordinator availability
  • Support data entry into EDC systems and resolution of sponsor/monitor queries
