Site Capabilities

Provident operates research clinics in both Illinois and Indiana.

Addison, Illinois

The Addison clinic is located in a northwest suburb of Chicago within an ethnically diverse community and in addition, the clinic is only 12 miles from Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport and short distance from 3 major expressways. The population in the ‘Chicagoland’ area is approximately 9,700,000.

Bloomington, Indiana

Bloomington and the surrounding communities represent a population of over 350,000 people. The Bloomington clinic is located adjacent to Bloomington Hospital. In addition, Bloomington is the home of Indiana University creating a cross section of cultures and ethnic backgrounds.

Regulatory

A regulatory specialist works closely with both sites 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.
