As sponsors begin to develop a plan for a clinical trial, the amount of tasks, nuances, and technicalities can be dampening. Therefore, many sponsors seek the advice and experience from a contract research organization (CRO). A CRO can assist in the necessary daily work that must be completed to ensure the trial is successful. In order to begin partnering with a CRO, sponsors must first submit a request for proposal (RFP). A solid RFP helps set the foundation for a strong relationship between the CRO and the sponsor, so it is important that the document is comprehensive, informative, and as accurate as possible. Together, the sponsor and CRO can manage the clinical trial and bring better therapies to patients more efficiently.
