Difference In Action

Prospective clients often ask us why we're so different than other clinical services and staffing providers? With proven results - and lots of them - we like to show the Metropolitan Research Associates difference in action.

The Challenge

One group at a major pharmaceutical company conducting an infectious skin disease study requested our assistance with resources for a critical portion of the study. The team did not want to outsource the entire project.

The Answer

After discussing their unique needs, we recommended providing a team - from Lead CRA to Administrative Staff. This team, which provided site management and monitoring, was directed from our CRO location.

This solution addressed our client's need for managed staffing:

  • accelerating the project time with fast and easy team deployment
  • reducing the costs and space constraints of adding new staff
  • building a cohesive team working in close proximity (remote individuals presented management and integrated workflow issues)
  • providing quality contributors to the project
  • retaining control of project direction without the headaches of day-to-day management

The Challenge

One of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world recently needed to develop a team of in-house safety specialists to receive the first SAE reports from on-going clinical trials. They needed the team in place quickly, since the reports were coming in from sites throughout the country. And because the stakes are so high with SAE reports, their new staff members had to be top quality people.

The Answer

MRA went to work quickly, accessing highly qualified candidates from our extensive database, presenting them to the client, and placing them. The five safety specialists chosen are working on a consulting basis. They are contributing high quality work and the client is confident that they will use MRA services again when the need arises. We continue to provide additional qualified members of the team, as needed by the client, based on their workflow.
