In terms of financial disclosures, who is included in the term 'Investigator'?

  1. The principal investigator only

  2. Anyone directly involved in treatment or evaluation of subjects

  3. Only senior researchers

  4. Lab technicians

The correct answer is: Anyone directly involved in treatment or evaluation of subjects

An 'Investigator' can include a range of people involved in a particular study or research, not just the principal investigator. This includes anyone who directly participates in the treatment or evaluation of subjects, such as co-investigators, research assistants, or even medical professionals. Senior researchers and lab technicians, while important, may not be directly involved in the treatment or evaluation of subjects and therefore would not be included in the term 'Investigator'. Knowing this can help ensure that all individuals involved in a study are properly identified and disclosed in financial statements.
