• Serve as a liaison between investigators, research personnel, outside study personnel, and central research administration offices to assist in protocol interpretation, enrollment, and safety questions.

• Assess research subjects, complete nursing assessments, document findings in research subject records, and notify the physician of abnormal findings.

• Establish a care plan in collaboration with the research subject, family, and research team, and coordinate ongoing care.
