CRO Partnering & Collaboration

Outsourcing is now a way of life for pharma companies conducting clinical trials. Some companies have opted to enter strategic partnerships with a small number of CRO partners, while others continue to make use of a functional service provider model. Others have developed hybrid models that best meet their needs. While some companies prefer to work with large, global CROs, others prefer to work with small- and mid-sized service providers. Regardless of the model and partners you choose, everyone needs to develop quality working relationships with their outsourcing partners.

While CRO selection and partnering may not be a hot and trending topic for some companies, the executives I talk to from the small- and mid-sized companies often list it as one of their biggest challenges. Finding the right CRO, putting the right contract in place, and becoming valued partners for each other is never easy. For everyone who deals with CRO selection and collaboration, we have produced this eBook. The articles included will provide you with the information you need to make better selections,  avoid outsourcing mistakes, be a sponsor of choice, and make any partnership work better. I hope you enjoy them.
