Prior to engaging in study start-up, the study coordination team member must meet the criteria defined by the No SOA/ No Work rule (see SOP titled Securing Reimbursement for Your Study; Service Order Worksheet).
For Study Coordination Team Members who are permitted to move forward with study start-up prior to obtaining a SOA:
1. Register Study in Velos (see SOP titled Velos Study Registration) and ensure that the clinical trial agreement (CTA) and coverage analysis (CTCA) are initiated in velos and all requisite documents are uploaded into the documents tab (see SOP titled Initiating a CTA).
2. Concurrently submit eIRB smartform and performance site approval (PSA) (see SOPs titled Study Submissions and Performance Site Approval).
