Roles of Clinical Research Team Members The relevance of a competently constituted clinical research team cannot be overstated when it comes to the success of clinical trials. This is true for both a site-based clinical research team and a sponsor-based clinical research team. Sponsor-Based Clinical Research Team Data Coordinator According to Robinson (2009, p. 9), "the primary role of a data coordinator is to ensure that the clinical trial database is accurate and complete,
Stakeholders in Clinical Research Trials There are various stakeholders involved in clinical trials. These include, but they are not limited to, funding agencies, the patient, the government, regulatory and oversight boards, the general public, insurers (if any), and the industry.
