Investigator Manual
VII. Investigator Responsibilities
It is the responsibility of the investigator to work with
the staff of the CRC to ensure that the research protocol evolves into a
functional research study.
To
facilitate the smooth and proper flow of a research project in the CRC certain
procedures must be followed. Time must be allotted for education of nursing,
nutrition and lab staff on the unique requirements of the study.
Provision for medical care of BIDMC CRC subjects:
Each
investigator is responsible for the care of subjects/patients admitted under
his/her protocol, either personally or through designated co-investigators,
fellows, or residents. Arrangements must be made for night and emergency
coverage and for when the investigator is away from the Hospital. Phone numbers
where these designated physicians can be reached must be written on the order
form.
When the subject has an intercurrent illness that is
unrelated to the research but is anticipated to be of a short duration, the
subject may be kept under treatment at the Center. If the intercurrent illness
requires termination of the study or its interruption for a considerable time,
other arrangements for the subject’s care must be made. At times, this may
include transfer of the patient into the clinical care portion of the main
hospital.
