Investment in research infrastructure has led to nurses and midwives undertaking extended roles to deliver clinical research and evidence demonstrates the important contributions they make to the clinical research process, quality of research outcomes and most importantly the safe expert care of research participants. The value of the CRN\/M\u2019s contribution to the broader research team and acknowledgement of the importance of their input, however, remains unspecified and tacit in nature.<\/jats:p>\n
