Site Support Solutions:

Lack of staffing availability at the site level is an area of tremendous need and is becoming a rate limiting factor to prevent some clinical research sites from accepting new studies and/or executing current studies.  This unmet study support need may result in a negative impact on our clients and their ability to start new studies, rapidly enroll to existing studies, or keep up with data entry and other administrative burden.  The Site Support Solutions team is designed to support our customers by providing a service solution for the tasks associated with the study conduct at the sites.
