This paper considers an area of clinical research that has been delegated by physician-researchers to nurses and others in the United States, that of clinical trials co-ordination. It uses interviews with nurse trial co-ordinators to explore the occupational processes by which the boundaries of work enactment and the definition of work have been established by nurses and others. It then discusses the occupational processes that have been established to formalize a role for nurses in clinical research. It raises the question of (and offers speculation on) whether specialization alone will distinguish nursing from other occupational groups engaged in clinical research work.

“…Despite the above-mentioned importance of the CRC position however, their responsibilities and main tasks have not been formally described. Furthermore, literature on this topic is limited since most papers mainly address the required skills of a CRC [4,8,12], or describe their responsibilities within a specific project [13,14]. The British Oncology Data Managers Association (BODMA) has run several surveys among its members [3,15] but very little data has been published in journals accessible by commonly used literature databases (e.g.…”

BackgroundThe purpose of this study was to determine the standard tasks performed by clinical research coordinators (CRCs) in oncology clinical trials.MethodsForty-one CRCs were anonymously surveyed, using a four-page self-administered questionnaire focused on demographics, qualifications, and professional experience. The survey questions on responsibilities consisted of an ad-hoc 32-item questionnaire where respondents had to rate the frequency of involvement in the listed activities using a 3-point scale. We defined as "standard" a task that was rated as "in all or nearly all trials" by at least half of the respondents.ResultsA response rate of 90% (37 out of 41) was achieved after two mailings. Less than half of the respondents had received additional training in oncology, clinical research or Good Clinical Practices (GCP). Overall, all standard tasks performed by CRCs were in the category of "monitoring activities" (those usually performed by a Clinical Research Associate "CRA") and included patient registration/randomization, recruitment follow-up, case report form completion, collaboration with the CRA, serious adverse events reporting, handling of investigator files, and preparing the site for and/or attending audits.ConclusionsCRCs play a key role in the implementation of oncology clinical trials, which goes far beyond mere data collection and/or administrative support, and directly contributes to the gathering of good quality data.

“…Recruitment materials, such as educational brochures or poster templates, are used to facilitate identification of potential study participants. These materials are either prepared using templates provided by study resource centers or may be developed at the clinic and specifically aimed at the local population (Mullin et al 1984). Other recruitment activities include disseminating information through grand rounds or local presentations or directly using letters or personal meetings with colleagues or other persons who have access to the potential patient population.…”

Principles and Practice of Clinical Trials

Successful conduct of multicenter trials requires many different types of activities, implemented by different types of centers. Resource centers are those involved in planning the trial protocol, overseeing trial conduct, and analyzing and interpreting trial data. They include clinical and data coordinating centers, reading centers, central laboratories, and others. Clinical centers prepare for the trial at their setting and accrue, treat, and follow up study participants. Each center
