What we’ll ask you
How you run the day-to-day of a study, and how you protect the people in it. Everyone also answers a few shared questions on research integrity and why this work. You answer these in your private portal after verifying your email — a reviewer reads them, and they’re never scored by a machine.
- Walk us through how you'd run an informed-consent conversation from greeting to signature, including how you'd handle a participant who seems unsure.
- The day before a monitoring visit, a source document and the EDC don't match. What do you do?
- How do you keep a demanding recruitment or visit schedule without ever pressuring or over-promising to a participant?
- Describe your coordinator experience — study types, systems (EDC/CTMS), consent and source documentation — and what you handled independently. (optional)
- Participant safety and honest data sometimes conflict with hitting enrollment targets. How do you hold that line? (optional)
