A person responsible for overseeing and conducting the research study at a specific investigational site or multiple sites, depending on the study's design. The role of a PI is multifaceted and involves various responsibilities, such as study oversight, protocol adherence, participant recruitment and informed consent implementation, regulatory compliance, and so on.

In the eClinical system, the Principal Investigator (PI) role that is assigned to a person who oversees the data entering and signs off subjects—gives authorized confirmation that all the entered data is valid and follows the industry standards. The responsibilities of PI can vary depending on study requirements.

A person responsible for the successful planning, execution, and management of clinical trials. The CRC’s scope of work might include study preparation, site setup, patient recruitment, regulatory compliance control, data collection, and more.

In the eClinical system, the Clinical Research Coordinator (CRC) user role is granted to a person who works on a site with subjects and is responsible for entering data to EDC, ensuring the data is entered correctly according to all requirements, and answering queries from data managers on any questionable data pieces.

A person responsible for managing and ensuring the integrity, accuracy, and confidentiality of data collected during clinical trials. The DM’s scope of work might include maintaining the quality of data, complying with regulatory requirements, and supporting the overall success of clinical research.

In the eClinical system, the Data Manager (DM) user role is granted to a person who is mainly responsible for cleaning the data, making sure the data is entered correctly according to all requirements and industry standards, and creating manual queries for clinical research coordinators on any questionable data pieces. Before the study goes live, works with the sponsor and receives and addresses their feedback to set up the study and CRFs in EDC in a way that the sponsor approves.

A person responsible for overseeing and monitoring a clinical trial to ensure it is conducted in compliance with regulatory standards and protocols. The CRA’s scope of work might include protocol review, site selection and initiation, monitoring, data entry control, and more.
