Clinical Research Managers: Principal Responsibilities and Duties

Responsibilities and Duties

Clinical research managers are involved with the monitoring of all processes in clinical trials. They oversee the administration and staff of such trials. For example, they need to supervise the CRAs on-site and in-house monitoring and filing of the trials.

When one is a clinical research manager, it means that they have to oversee those FD regulations, good clinical practice, and SOPs are all adhered to. They are also required to offer assistance in the development and implementation of different clinical, programs, procedures, and processes.

Qualifications

Certification is very important in any career. For clinical research managers, they need to complete very specific professional exams. This is determined as per the region, by the rules set by the regulatory bodies For instance, in some areas a clinical research manager needs to have a nursing master’s degree.

First level managers

First level managers have to ensure that all the department or project milestones and goals are all met while sticking to the budgets approved by the top management. They must have the most extensive knowledge about the department, since they operate with all their processes. In most cases, clinical research managers need 5 years of experience in a particular field before moving up to more senior positions.

Clinical trial manager

These managers supervise and execute clinical trials. They also guide and oversee the clinical data managers and clinical research associates. Clinical trial manager needs to report to the CPM or the clinical project manager.

Clinical Research Project Manager - A Full Guide To Becoming a Clinical Trial Project Manager

As of mid-April 2022, top recruitment platform ‘indeed.com’ lists 6,026 openings for Clinical Research Project Managers across the United States[1]. According to ‘payscale.com’, remuneration for this profile ranges from $84,168 for early-career to $120,501 for experienced Clinical Research Project Managers, with a mid-career median of $107,649[2].

A Clinical Research Project Manager (henceforth CRPM) is also known as a Clinical Research Manager or a Clinical Trial Manager. The role of a CRPM is to provide leadership during the clinical trial of new drugs, with the overarching goal of ensuring that the clinical trials process is completed within the stipulated time-frame and allocated budget, while maintaining the highest standards of research quality and scientific integrity.

An overview of the CRPM profile

A Clinical Research Project Manager is the liaison between the study sponsor and the clinical research team. Thus, the CRPM must balance the expectations of the funding organization in a clinical research study (pharmaceutical company, governmental agency, university research division or other entity) with the needs of the team, including Principal Investigators (PIs) and co-PIs, Clinical Research Coordinators (CRCs), Clinical Research Associates (CRAs), and Clinical Trial Assistants (CTAs) and other site staff. 

The CRPM plays a leading role in planning, implementation and ongoing monitoring of live clinical trials. In the process, a CRPM also mentors junior team members, including CRAs and CTAs.

Evidently, a career as a CRPM is rewarding, but also demanding. So, what does it take to qualify and be recruited as a Clinical Research Project Manager?

The road-map to becoming a CRPM

Even if you’re new to the field of clinical research, you’ve probably guessed by now that becoming a Clinical Research Project Manager takes both qualifications and experience. A typical CRPM has a bachelor’s (or master’s) degree in life science, combined with four to five years’ experience in one or more clinical research roles such as CRC, senior CRA or QPPV (Qualified Professional in Pharmacovigilance).

Irrespective of where you are along this path, the remainder of this article charts a clinical research professional’s journey of growth in developing into a competent CRPM. For conceptual convenience, the process is discussed in two parts – Part 1 centers on the research and administrative skills needed for a CRPM, while Part 2 revolves around expertise in project management. The final sections address how the Advanced Clinical Research Project Manager Certification or ACRPMC facilitates the transition to a CRPM role.

The CRPM journey, Part 1: Research and administrative skills

By the time a clinical research professional is eligible to apply for a CRPM position, s/he has typically developed a range of competencies in the day-to-day running of clinical trials. In addition, a professional at this stage has usually acquired a good working knowledge of the planning and oversight required for a clinical research study.

In broad strokes, a CRPM candidate likely already has a knowledge base and skill sets in the following areas:

1. ICH-GCP guidelines, Title 21 of FDA CFR and IRB compliance

One of the first things every clinical research professional learns is the importance of adhering to the principles and policies of good clinical practice, as outlined in the ICH-GCP[3]—these guidelines set the framework for carrying out research in a manner that prioritizes the safety and welfare of human subjects and the quality and integrity of clinical data.

The ICH-GCP principles are mirrored by Title 21 within the US FDA’s Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)[4]. Clinical research across the US must conform to the requirements of Title 21. Part of Title 21 regulatory compliance requires nearly all clinical research studies to first be approved by an Institutional Review Board or IRB (also called an Ethics Committee). As clinical trials progress, any changes to the study trial protocol, consent procedures or data management system must likewise first be reviewed and approved by the IRB.

The CRPM has final responsibility for ensuring that all documentation necessary for clinical research regulatory compliance is maintained and updated as needed.

2. Clinical trial design concepts and parameters

A sound grasp of the clinical trials process is similarly a must for senior professionals in the team. Candidates for CRPM positions are thus expected to have a thorough understanding of key concepts and procedures relating to clinical research, including:

• Phases 1 to 4 of clinical trials[5] 

• Investigational products (IPs) including INDs and IDEs

• Design concepts in clinical trials - control, randomization and blinding

• Subject screening and selection, retention and study compliance

• Trial data input, quality assurance, analyses and reporting

• Adverse Event (AE) documentation and reporting

3. Pre-trial preparation

In some ways, the most crucial phase of a clinical trial is the preliminary or preparatory phase, during which all groundwork must be laid for the smooth and efficient conduct of the actual study. This phase must typically achieve the following objectives:

1. Complete documentation for initiating clinical trials[6] – An IRB-approved clinical trial must have in place a host of documents covering important aspects of the study, including the investigator brochure (IB), trial master file (TMF), informed consent form, case report form (CRF), subject recruitment notice, laboratory protocol, study financial projections and so on.

2. Identification and preparation of study site(s) – Most clinical research studies are run across multiple sites, which may be hospitals, clinics or other health-care facilities. Identifying suitable sites, establishing collaborative agreements with site administrators, as well as setting up the required infrastructure to carry out trials at each site is crucial in preparing for a clinical research study.

3. Pre-trial publicity – The success of clinical trials depends on gathering large amounts of data from human subjects. Therefore, creating public awareness and interest right from the outset is critical to running clinical research studies effectively.

When setting up a study, the CRPM plays a central role in initiating and fulfilling each of the goals outlined above. Under the CRPM’s guidance, clinical research administrative staff including CRCs and CRAs work to put relevant documentation in place, prepare study sites and create public awareness about the study.

4. Active trial administration

The day-to-day running of an active clinical trial involves numerous administrative components, including:

• hiring and training staff at clinical sites

• tracking subject recruitment and retention

• regulatory compliance in trial protocol, subject safety and data quality

• Adverse Event (AE) documentation and reporting

• oversight of trial drug storage and use

• coordination among research teams across sites

• tracking study finances

• communication between study sponsors and clinical staff

• electronic data capture (EDC) and management

• timely renewal of necessary financial and regulatory approvals

These tasks are distributed among members of the investigative teams (PIs, co-PIs and other medical personnel) as well as administrative teams (CRAs, CRCs, QPPVs and other site staff). However, the CRPM is ultimately responsible for ensuring efficient administration that keeps the clinical trial on track.

5. Study termination procedures

Winding up a clinical trial similarly entails a number of administrative exercises. Here again, the CRPM must oversee execution, guiding team members in completing tasks on schedule and to the required standard:

• site close-out (relieving staff, subject debriefing, equipment surrender)

• final data consolidation and scrutiny

• study completion documents for regulatory compliance

• compilation of briefs and reports for regulatory authorities, study sponsors

The CRPM journey, Part 2: Expertise in project management[7]

Most aspirants to CRPM positions have usually been engaged in the clinical research process for at least a few years. Many have played administrative roles, working as CRCs, senior CRAs, QPPVs or site managers. In some cases, CRPM aspirants have clinical backgrounds, with expertise in drug research or medical monitoring.

Despite their hands-on experience with the clinical trials process, professionals wishing to transition to CRPM roles usually have limited exposure to the higher-level project management knowhow that is essential for an effective CRPM. This section provides a brief overview of the major project management domains relevant to clinical trial management:

1. Project and operations planning

A clinical trial is a major operation, involving a range of geographical and health-care settings, multi-disciplinary teams, as well as a complex array of regulatory and logistical requirements. Planning the stages, milestones and operations of a clinical trial is integral to assuring its success. Therefore, project and operations planning are the top priorities of a CRPM.

Some of the key elements involved in planning a clinical trial include:

• Compiling a comprehensive study protocol describing the rationale, aims, design and methodology, data analysis plans, and trial procedure (/protocol)

• Setting project goals, deliverables and milestones

• Outlining a project personnel schematic that delineates team and sub-team structure and defines individual team member roles

• Generating a responsibility blueprint with a clear break-up of tasks, targets and time-lines for each project goal and each team member

•  Creating a communication plan that outlines the method and schedule for relaying information, updates and requests between and within teams

2. Financial forecasting and tracking

One of the biggest challenges confronting a CRPM is keeping the trial within budget, while making sure that resources are optimally allocated to cover all necessary project-related expenses. Clinical trials often suffer from scope creep, that is, the inclusion of additional goals and deliverables to those originally outlined, resulting in the project overshooting budget and time-line.

It is therefore recommended practice for a CRPM to work with study sponsors and senior team members in compiling a budget management plan at the very outset of the project. Such a plan not only specifies financial outlay for each of the goals and deliverables of the clinical trial, it also provides for periodic budget revisions to account for factors such as expanded project scope, rising costs and supply-chain changes.

3. Human resource allocation and oversight

The section on project and operations planning highlighted the importance of creating a personnel schematic as well as a responsibility blueprint at the start of a clinical trial. Through this process, a CRPM is able to clearly define roles for various team members in meeting project goals and milestones, and their contributions to each project deliverable.

However, in order to ensure collaborative effort and a cordial work environment, it is essential for a CRPM to also formulate a transparent hiring policy as well as disciplinary policy. These may be specific to the clinical trial or apply broadly across the CRO, or Clinical (/Contract) Research Organization. Well-documented policies facilitate the CRPM’s role in sourcing and motivating the best-fitted staff to play different roles in the clinical team.

4. Clinical data management and quality control

The data from a clinical trial are often its most valuable project outcome. As such, effectively managing the input, storage, analysis and quality control of study data is one of the foremost responsibilities of a CRPM.

Before beginning the active phase of the clinical trial, a CRPM coordinates with team members to put in place the following aspects of data management:

• physical data storage system (files, binders, shelves, cabinets, etc.)

• electronic data capture (EDC) and management system

• physical and electronic data security systems

• data input procedure

• data cleaning and quality monitoring procedure

• data sharing (import, export, access across clinical sites and teams)

• data analysis and visualization procedure

• periodic data review and reporting procedure

5. Risk management and mitigation

Owing to the high stakes nature of clinical research, running a clinical research study carries numerous risks. One of the major responsibilities of a CRPM is to develop a risk management plan to identify and circumvent potentially risky situations, and to mitigate consequences to the project in cases where an unforeseen risk impacts the trials process.

Some sources of risk in the management of a clinical trial include:

• failure to obtain or document subject informed consent

• errors in following trial protocol (timing, dosage, subject screening, etc.)

• data security breach leading to compromised subject confidentiality

• inadequate insurance coverage for potential adverse events of study

• financial constraints arising from changes in study funding

• limitations on study scope due to revisions in regulatory policy

Bridging the gap: Using ACRPMC to transition from clinical research professional to project manager

The foregoing section outlined how, despite their strong base in clinical research, CRPM aspirants generally lack the advanced knowhow and managerial skills required for leading a clinical research project. CCRPS’ Advanced Clinical Research Project Management Certification (ACRPMC) provides an excellent tool for bridging this gap and bringing candidates up to speed in all domains of clinical research management.

Common Questions For a Clinical Research Project Manager

Research project managers (PMs) are responsible for leading research projects to a defined business or scientific objective. To reach this goal, research project managers utilize different methodologies and techniques for managing and guiding the development of research instruments. They are also in charge of evaluating research related fieldwork, validating collected data, authoring reports and communicating across various research constituencies.    

What responsibilities does a clinical project manager job have?

CPM jobs involve planning and managing all aspects of a clinical trial. The aim of clinical trials is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of pharmaceuticals, medical devices, or in-vitro diagnostic devices to support regulatory submissions or marketing claims.

In order to manage a clinical trial adequately, CPMs manage a team of CRAs and Clinical Specialists. They also act as a link between the study sponsor and the clinical trial site. As a CPM, it is important to understand project management methodologies, like those taught in the Advanced Clinical Research Project Manager Certification. They will allow you to effectively lead a cross-functional team.

Analytical and writing skills are also very important, because a CPM job will involve developing documents such as protocols, informed consent documents, contracts, and grants. A skilled CPM should also be familiar with the financial aspects of a clinical study, including reviewing invoices, performing daily accounting tasks, and preparing budgets. Sometimes, clinical research manager jobs may include contributing to the statistical analysis and data reporting documentation used to support a marketing clearance, approval or registration.

How much do CPMs earn?

The average clinical research manager salary is $75,474 in the United States.

What is the demand for CPMs?

Demand for CPMs increases, as there are increased global regulations requiring more extensive clinical studies to support the safety and effectiveness claims of health-care products. CPMs may work for pharmaceutical, medical device, or in-vitro diagnostic device companies. CPMs may also work for contract research organizations (CROs)- an organization that is hired to outsource clinical trials or perform other clinical research support.  

What qualifications or training do I need as a CPM?

CPM can come from different educational backgrounds and fields. Most have, at a minimum, a bachelor’s degree in a sciences field such as biology, health, life sciences or bioengineering. Those with advanced degrees such as MS, MBA, Ph.D. or MD will find it easier and faster to reach the CPM position, as long as they have relevant clinical trial and project management experience.

As a CPM, you will be working in a highly regulated environment and should have an expert understanding of Good Clinical Practice (ICH-GCP) and other relevant regulatory requirements. You should also have exposure working with institutional review boards (IRBs) or ethics committees (ECs).

Generally, a principle CRA with about 7-9 years of experience would be a strong candidate for a CPM position. A position as a clinical team lead, clinical team manager, or clinical operation leader would also serve as an excellent transition towards becoming a CPM. These positions offer valuable clinical leadership and management experience without some financial management responsibilities, such as budgeting.
