to collect data from remote sites to a central mainframe computer. Each
protocol team is assigned a clinical data manager who:
Designs and develops the protocol-specific case report forms to optimize
data collection (with input from the protocol team and selected clinical
sites)
Participates in protocol- and site-specific training
Monitors the timeliness and quality of the data and contacts sites
for corrections and delinquencies
Provides advice and instruction to the clinicians in the accurate completion
of study forms
Runs standard reports at specified intervals for purposes such as preparation
of annual FDA progress reports
Acts as liaison between the team and the clinical sites concerning
all aspects of data required during conduct of the study
