A Study Coordinator (SC) is a clinical research professional who manages day-to-day trial activities at the site level under investigator oversight.
Responsibilities often include scheduling visits, coordinating informed consent logistics, managing study documentation, supporting data entry, and tracking protocol-required procedures. Study coordinators help ensure participants follow visit schedules and that study tasks are performed consistently and documented correctly. They serve as a key communication hub between participants, investigators, sponsors, monitors, and IRBs. Strong coordinator performance reduces deviations, improves data quality, and supports a smoother participant experience.
