The PM support team is mainly passionate about data related and e-submission related aspects.

ACCOUNTABILITIES:
• Prepare programming scripts (e.g. R, SAS) to generate NONMEM analysis input dataset(s) for PK and/or PD analysis. During dataset generation, modifies the variable definition file which clearly defines each variable within this dataset with any additional information as they see fit. The NONMEM input dataset(s) created could be for interim or final analysis. The source used could be interim (uncleaned) or final SDTM/ADAM datasets or in sources in other formats, in some cases extensive data cleaning and complex calculation are needed.
• Upon request, QC NONMEM input dataset(s) generated by another PM support colleague. Log which QC script is used, which subjects were checked per study, what other aspects were checked within the dataset, the findings of the QC and the follow-up actions of those findings in a QC document.
