Clinical trials conducted by CRS are operated under harmonized and standardized practices. We deliver a consistent approach in training and developing our workforce, and to implementing, conducting and managing clinical trials.
Uniform practices include the following:
- Operating under the same book of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs): There are essential practices which are uniform across all clinical research. The CRS SOPs establish processes for those essential practices.
- Starting new studies according to the same processes for obtaining Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval, contract negotiation, budget negotiation, and regulatory document completion.
- Training and developing clinical research coordinators
- Entering and updating study, visit, and patient data in the Clinical Trial Management System (CTMS) which allows for easy participant payment processing, participant tracking, reporting on clinical trial metrics
- Marketing clinical trials to potential participants
- Project Manager support during the start-up process
- Financial reporting and management of clinical research
Elements unique to some teams:
- Reporting structure
- Processes that are specialized to the research, i.e. pediatrics and assent
