Science - Medical (general) / research
Italian term or phrase: promotore
This is from a research project in the health care field.

In the title, a number of individuals are listed after the word "PROMOTORI:"

Could you assume that the term is equivalent to "AUTORI:"? If such is not the case, is there another term that fills the bill?

Thanks.

A sponsor is an organisation which takes responsibility for the quality and conduct of a research project. All research conducted within the NHS is required to have a research sponsor.

The sponsor can be defined in two ways:

The Research Governance Framework describes a sponsor as an 'individual, organisation or group taking on responsibility for securing the arrangements to initiate, manage and finance a study'.
The Clinical Trials Regulations describes a sponsor, in relation to a clinical trial, as the person who takes responsibility for the initiation, management and financing (or arranging the financing) of that trial.

Sponsor of a clinical trial

Regulation 3: This defines Sponsor of a clinical trial as the person/organisation who takes responsibility for the initiation, management and financing (or arranging financing) of that trial. If two or more persons take responsibility for carrying out functions, they will have joint responsibility or they may allocate different responsibilities amongst themselves. E.g. roles include obtaining authorisation, conduct of clinical trials and pharmacovigilance.

agree  Federica Borgini: I must agree with this solution. The two terms do not coincide although they are often used interchangeably. Many clinical trials are not financed by pharmaceutical companies but by hospitals, univ., the Min. of Health. These are "promoters"

Notes to answerer
Asker: I also considered "sponsor", which came up on IATE, but didn't give it much weight because the promotori are individuals and not companies, as Phil pointed out. I'm leaning toward "authors" in this context and am considering promotori to be jargon that has been loosely applied here.

Asker: And here's yet another rub: the "sponsor" referred to here does not seem to be a company or financial backer at all, but the "mentor" of trainees doing the research ("sponsored" by an AUSL and a Universita' degli studi). That makes more sense. See http://my.americanheart.org/professional/Research/FundingOpportunities/SupportingInformation/SponsorMentor-Information-Page_UCM_320667_Article.jsp

  -> Yes, so would I - thank you Phil :-)
agree  texjax DDS PhD: Dovrebbe essere così (anche se ho un minimo dubbio qui). Sponsor: promotore della ricerca (dà inizio, gestisce e/o finanzia) http://xfiles.farmacia.uniba.it/farmol/didattica_web/32/argo...

  -> Thank you - ciao! :-)
neutral  James (Jim) Davis: I too would expect it to be companies and have too much down to agree. A promotore can also often be an organiser of an event. "incontro promosso da"

agree  Lydia Cleary: yes, in clinical trials they are always called sponsors.

Reference: promotori

Reference information:
qualche anno fa sono stata a un Corso ECM "Tra scienza ed etica: il ruolo dei comitati etici nell'Unione Europea" e parlavano proprio di "promotori"/promoter relativamente a quegli studi clinici (ad esempio sulle malattie rare) che, non avendo una casistica molto importante non interessano granché all'industria farmaceutica e quindi vengono promossi da altre realtà (ospedali, università, ecc.). In questo caso sarebbe improprio parlare di sponsor.
