On this course you will learn how to prepare a Request for Proposal (RFP) and use that to find, evaluate and select the right CRO for the clinical studies you need to outsource.

You will also cover the techniques for successfully managing CROs/vendors and the shared responsibilities required by the sponsor and the service provider. Managing CRO performance issues will also be discussed. The course is equally useful to CROs/other vendors and consultants to understand how to work effectively with sponsor organisations.
