  • Ensure accurate, timely, and ALCOA+-compliant documentation, drive data accuracy and completeness, support query resolution, and maintain inspection readiness.
  • Oversee investigational product (IP) accountability across all assigned trials, including receipt, storage, dispensing, reconciliation, temperature monitoring, documentation, and proper disposal; ensure compliance with protocol, regulatory requirements, and site SOPs, and provide guidance and oversight to CRCs and RAs supporting IP management.
  • Identify operational risks, bottlenecks, or trends and propose corrective actions or process improvements at the site or portfolio level.
  • Monitor study and site performance metrics, including enrollment progress, visit completion, and data quality; analyze, interpret, and present operational performance to internal leadership and external sponsors.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
