Thank you for inquiring about the services Research Across Borders provides to our Sponsors and physicians. With the rising costs associated with taking a new chemical entity from molecule to market, our goal is to provide superior services that decrease study startup time and costs by utilizing our large physician database. We work closely with Sponsors and Contract Research Organizations during the site selection process. We recommend sites based on study criteria provided to us, but ultimately leave the final selection of sites to the Sponsor or CRO.

By partnering with Research Across Borders, our Sponsors can place entire clinical programs within our network of physicians and feel assured that the data obtained is accurate and complete. By placing an entire program within our network allows our physicians to remain with a product through the various phases of clinical research. By following a product with this type of intensity, our physicians can then develop a better understanding of our Sponsor's objectives with a program. Ultimately, this will be advantageous to our Sponsor's by allowing for very smooth transitions between clinical phases. Sometimes Sponsors may unknowingly place competing studies at the same site. Research Across Borders understands that this does not benefit anyone involved. We eliminate the possibility of this occurring by working very closely with our physicians and Sponsors during the site selection process.

Budget and contract negotiation time is minimized due to a centralized process. We negotiate the budgets and contracts for all of the sites that participate in our network. We make it a goal to negotiate a budget and execute a contract within 2-3 days. Again, since we negotiate a standard budget and contract this timeline is adhered to whether you select one site or several. In keeping with our ongoing efforts to continuously decrease the time spent during the startup phase, we also streamlined the document completion process. All study documents for each of our physician sites is sent to the Research Across Borders main office for processing and completion. Once finalized the completed regulatory documents are sent to each site for retention.

The physicians affiliated with Research Across Borders have conducted numerous clinical studies across multiple therapeutic disciplines. Some of the therapeutic areas of expertise include: Gastroenterology, Cardiology, Infectious Disease, Men's and Women's Health, Pediatrics, Neurology and Anti-Infectives. Our goal is to provide you with ethical, quality oriented, and experienced clinical research sites in an expedited and efficient manner. Whether you are managing your trial internally or utilizing the services of a Contract Research Organization, we can help speed up the site identification, qualification, initiation, budget/contractual negotiations and startup process.

To be considered for participation in our network, each physician and site are pre-qualified to ensure that they can demonstrate the experience and capabilities required by our sponsors or Clinical Research Organizations to conduct clinical investigations. We make routine evaluations to ensure that each participating physician and site is adhering to our stringent requirements.
