Site Initiation Visit (SIV)

A meeting with a representative of the sponsor to prepare the research site to conduct the research study. The SIV occurs prior to initiation of enrollment, generally after the investigational site has received IRB approval and a Clinical Trial Agreement (CTA) has been fully executed. The Principal Investigator (PI) or member of the research team will schedule and arrange the SIV which can be conducted in person, on-line, or via conference call at the discretion of the sponsor. The sponsor representative leads the meeting and provides protocol training for the PI and delegated research team members.
