This chapter describes the ClearTrial system-defined resources. ClearTrial resources represent job titles, or types of employees, who may be expected to perform work during a study.
ClearTrial multiplies the hourly rate supplied for each resource by the number of hours calculated to be necessary for employees of this type to complete the work.
The Billing Rates feature allows you to define hourly billing rates for each resource for specific service providers you may assign to work on a study.
To help guide you in providing the appropriate hourly rates you have negotiated with your vendor(s), this chapter describes the responsibilities of each resource.
Described below are resources and their responsibilities.
