Justification for GCRC RequirementsRecommendations to General Clinical Research Centers for Patient Safety in Clinical Research - http://www.ncrr.nih.gov/clinical/gcrcpatientsafety20010622.asp#VI
The RSA is to ensure that the IRB- and GAC-approved monitoring plan is fully implemented and that the protocol carried out at the GCRC complies with the IRB- and GAC-approved protocol.
NCRR's program guidelines for GCRCs http://www.ncrr.nih.gov/clinical/crguide2004/guide17March2004.pdf
The primary function of the RSA is to ensure that studies on the GCRC are designed and conducted safely and ethically with protection of human subjects accorded the highest priority. The RSA develops and guides implementation of policies and procedures for timely and appropriate reporting of adverse events, development and adherence to the Data and Safety Monitoring (DSM) Plan, approval and recording of all protocol amendments and changes in informed consent documents, performance of regulatory responsibilities in a complete and timely manner, and conduct of the research as written in the most recently approved protocol.
