Vendor oversight

    In Roles & organizations

    Vendor oversight is how a sponsor supervises the third parties it hires — CROs, central laboratories, imaging providers, technology suppliers. The sponsor must be able to show that delegated work was performed properly, usually through written agreements, defined metrics, and periodic review or audit. Delegating a task never delegates the accountability.
