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.
