Clinical research monitors CRMs

Once a potential investigator has been identified, the sponsor company will continue to be in contact with the investigator and the site to make ad ditional assessments of their continued interest and capabilities to participate in the clinical program. This responsibility is assigned to personnel within sponsor companies that carry many different titles. Site managers (SMs), medical research associates (MRAs), clinical research associates (CRAs), and clinical research monitors (CRMs) are among the names used. For the purpose of this chapter, personnel with these responsibilities will be called monitors.
