Collaboration Disconnects
• Sponsors using an average of three primary outsourcing models – transactional, full and FSP -- simultaneously
– No observed commitment to a single model
• 38% of sponsors believe that their collaborations consistently fail to meet cost and cycle time expectations
• Only 14% of CROs report that they have opportunities to regularly participate in upfront planning and study design
