Program Agenda:

  • 3:30pm-4:30 pm – Educational Presentation and Discussion
Program Description: According to the FDA and OHRP, the Principal Investigator (PI) is responsible for all study conduct. However, in the day of complex study designs it is impossible for the PI to directly conduct all aspects of a research study. Therefore, qualified and reliable staff must be employed to ensure the study is carried out according to the protocol. Attendees of this webinar will understand the regulatory requirements of investigator oversight, as well as gain tips for ensuring investigators are properly engaged with delegated duties; study staff entrusted with study conduct are properly trained; and delegation of authority documentation is maintained.

Upon completion of this Webinar Replay, attendees should be able to:
  • Describe the investigator’s responsibility for study conduct and explain the delegation of authority process
  • Explain how to obtain and maintain ethically responsible delegation of authority
  • Implement a system to document delegation of authority in a regulatory-compliant manner.
Target Audience: Investigators, Clinical Research Staff and Administrators, Clinical Research Coordinators, Clinical Research Associates, Clinical Project Managers, Human Subject Protection Office personnel, Research Quality Assurance staff and anyone working in clinical research.
