@dansfera: Don’t let the archiving trap catch you off guard during your next clinical trial. Many PIs overlook the crucial detail of budgeting for document storage, which can sometimes extend for over a decade depending on sponsor requirements. Remember: custody of those essential documents falls squarely on the site, and those costs should be invoiced correctly. Failing to prepare for an FDA audit or IRB closeout can lead to serious compliance headaches. Ensure your SOPs are airtight and the budget reflects the true cost of long-term record-keeping. #ClinicalTrials #ClinicalResearch #PrincipalInvestigator #FDAAudit #ResearchCompliance
