that question within the
months-long pandemic period,
if you have researched it.
• The data management strategy was one of the key issues that would make the trial succeed or fail.
• Protocol amendmends for implementing an Ebola vaccine trial in an Ebola-affected country
• And more...
CRAs work by touching so many areas and
points that they can lose their main role
from time to time. Since CRAs have a lot
of responsibilities, they see every issue at
their own risk. However, this is not true.
