Thus, if a sponsor delegates study activities to a vendor or a vendor’s vendor and so on, the sponsor should take measures to ensure the vendor and any subcontractors are consistently delivering products or services of acceptable quality. This chapter provides recommendations for evaluating, selecting, and providing oversight of vendors to determine whether their services adequately meet sponsor expectations including quality requirements and regulatory standards. |\n| Keywords: |","cbCaicJ1gon7frPM","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicJ1gon7frPM","pdf",1474546,13,"English","# Vendor Selection and Management","[{\"question\":\"What is the sponsor's responsibility regarding outsourced activities in clinical studies?\",\"answer\":\"Sponsors retain ultimate responsibility for all outsourced activities, even when delegated to vendors or their subcontractors.
