DISYNCRO: Perceived roles of clinical study coordinators and data managers: results from a web-based survey of professionals from contract research organizations
Study findings demonstrate an overwhelming preference for CSCs, who play a key versatile role in managing clinical trials. The insufficient theoretical understanding of the different duties of CSCs and DMs hampers operational efficiency. Establishing standard training programs combined with harmonization is essential to defining roles, enhancing teamwork, and providing quality clinical research practices.
