  • Creating a cohesive partnership between sponsors and CROs
  • Using data to design and define a transparent collaboration process
  • Leveraging the TMF to monitor the CRO performance
  • Securing the successful end-of-study transfer

For example, your CRO should provide evidence that they have conducted due diligence for any missing data or documents.

2. Use data to design and define a transparent collaboration process
