SiteVault is structured to accommodate a single research site seeking a tool to organize its study materials or a research organization with oversight over multiple sites. This page offers definitions of those relationships as you will find references to both scenarios throughout this documentation.

Definitions

• Research Organization: A research organization is any university, research institute, or legal entity that conducts clinical research.
• Research Site: Distinct research team, department, institute, or location within a research organization. There may be only one or multiple research sites within a research organization.
• Research Team: A group of research staff who conduct studies with sponsors in a specific therapeutic area. At larger research organizations, there may be multiple distinct teams within a research site.
