"This research is key to both Sponsors and CRO partners as they mature their Oversight programs and focus," said Beth Harper.  "Unless these programs are measured for effectiveness, their growth and success are limited.  We've been able to isolate some areas of improvement that were likely not apparent before this research. For instance, the level of executive engagement in Oversight programs was surprisingly limited, across the board."

"With changing regulatory requirements and the exponential growth of data, Sponsors need the assistance of vendor partners to enable scalability and reach milestones on time," said Rick Morrison. "Our focus has been, and continues to be, on ways we can help Sponsors accelerate their treatments to patients.  Having this significant research available to them will hopefully help remove some of their barriers to success."
