Clinical trials are run by a team, and we are continuing our series on the roles of clinical trial team members. This month, we are highlighting the clinical trial sponsor. The sponsor is the person or organization, often a pharmaceutical company or research institution, that funds the trial and collects and assesses the data. Sometimes, the sponsor and the investigator, which we highlighted last month, are the same.
