Key responsibilities include recruiting and screening participants, collecting and documenting clinical data, obtaining informed consent, assisting with clinical procedures, managing and analyzing data, ensuring regulatory compliance, coordinating study activities, maintaining participant follow-up, monitoring quality assurance, and reporting adverse events. Personnel in such positions, and similarly situated state contractors, will be routinely reviewed to determine whether things such as criminal history or continuous connections to the government or political apparatus of a foreign adversary might prevent the applicant, employee, or contractor from being able to maintain the security or integrity of the infrastructure.
