Research nurse coordinators on the other hand are
often hired by and report to a principal investigator and
may be funded only for the support of a specific study
or group of studies. Research nurse coordinators are
primarily responsible for study coordination and data
management, with a central focus on managing
subject recruitment and enrollment, consistency of
study implementation, data management and integrity,
and compliance with regulatory requirements and
reporting. They may rely on clinical staff to deliver
“hands-on” care including administration of investigational
drugs or interventions.
