Institute for International Research

Dear Colleague,

Outsourcing can be a complicated endeavor to any Pharma or Biotech Sponsor, and in particular for small and mid-size companies short on resources. The key to effective outsourcing is establishing enough process to allow sound decision-making, effective contracting, and strong CRO management, without hindering the agility, speed, and ingenuity on which such companies thrive. The trick is to take time away from the critical day-to-day tasks to design a process that will save time in the long run. This program is designed to help pharma and biotech professionals who play a role in clinical development understand the components of and develop a successful outsourcing program.

LEARN FROM THE INDUSTRY LEADERS IN CLINICAL OUTSOURCING

With the volume of outsourced work continuing to increase, a firm grounding on the basics is essential. Whether you are new to the area of outsourcing, need a refresher course, or would just like to increase your knowledge, the Fundamentals of Clinical Outsourcing conference is your answer.
