• Prepare and maintain study source documents, lab kits, CRFs, and visit materials.
• Ensure accurate, ALCOA+-compliant documentation of all study procedures and maintain required logs, trackers, and regulatory files.
• Support investigational product (IP) accountability for assigned studies, including receipt, storage, dispensing, reconciliation, temperature monitoring, and documentation under supervision, ensuring compliance with protocol and site SOPs.
• Communicate with participants between visits to maintain engagement and protocol compliance.
• Assist with sponsor communication, monitoring visit preparation, and audit readiness as appropriate.
• Contribute to query resolution, data cleaning, and study metrics tracking to support accurate reporting and inspection readiness.
• Support screening operations and meet enrollment expectations for assigned study tasks.
• Prepare internal reports or summaries for review under guidance from CRC II/III.
