Responsibilities of IND Sponsor-Investigators
Definitions
• Sponsor is an individual, company, academic institution, or other organization that takes responsibility for and initiates a clinical investigation. The sponsor is not the “funding organization” by FDA definitions.
• Investigator is an individual under whose immediate direction a drug is administered or dispensed
• Sponsor-Investigator is an individual who both initiates and conducts an investigation. The requirements/responsibilities under this part include both those applicable to an investigator and a sponsor.
