Doing this job remotely

Trial data is managed in validated cloud systems, and remote data management is well established at sponsors and contract research organizations. Work must follow documented procedures and audit requirements wherever it is done. Study timelines drive the calendar, with intense periods before interim analyses and database lock, and global trials bring calls across time zones.
