RCNet

The Research Coordinator Network is designed to provide investigators with a source for reliable and experienced research coordinators for clinical investigation. Coordinators are on hand to work simultaneously on a variety of protocols throughout the hospital, on a part- or full-time basis. The staff is experienced with recruitment strategies, implementation, and completion. Our coordinators are also well-versed in the intricacies of IRB and FDA regulations, as well as sponsor-related documentation. The RCNet staff are also familiar with the BWH facility and are prepared to assist new investigators in training new or inexperienced research staff.
