Conduct close-out of all submissions including ensuring that all necessary documentation has been obtained, is included in the electronic file and is maintained in accordance with record retention requirements.

• Conduct independent initial review ( "first line review”) of all planned CBER requests originating from DSI Business Requestors to determine if they (1) require CBER review and (2) if proposed engagements comply with applicable healthcare laws/regulations, internal policy and procedure requirements. Make decisions/provide feedback to the CBER requestors regarding actions to be taken on each request. Responsible for flagging issues pertaining to anti-kickback, false claim, and transparency reporting laws/regulations for additional DSI Compliance or Legal Affairs review.
