Regulatory
A regulatory specialist works closely with the site and sponsors to process and submit all trial related regulatory documents, tracking the progress of each submission through to completion.
Recruitment
Provident meets or exceeds trial enrollment goals using its extensive database of study volunteers, print media as well as radio and electronic advertising. We have a fully dedicated recruitment staff to tailor subject recruitment for each trial to meet our enrollment goals.
The recruitment specialists work with the sponsor to develop a recruitment plan for each trial and study specific advertising materials. Our study subject database allows us to keep in regular contact with potential study participants. The recruitment team works together with trial coordinators to track enrollment progress and to modify and update the recruitment plan as needed.
