Contracting Network

 

Contracting offices face increasing internal and external pressure to improve turnaround times for clinical trial contract execution. At the same time, the proliferation of multisite studies provides opportunities for institutions to align contract negotiations and leverage one another’s resources. To address these challenges, UC BRAID convened a network of campus contracting leadership to:

 

1. Measure and improve clinical trial contracting performance
    

2. Share best practices and lessons learned
    

3. Increase collaboration for multisite clinical trial agreement (CTA) negotiations
    

4. Mitigate redundant effort and conserve resources

​

The Contracting Network's paper, "Collaboration in Action: Measuring and Improving Contracting Performance in the University of California Contracting Network" was published by NCURA's Research Management Review.

​

NEW! The Contracting Network recently finalized a resource called Avoiding Investigator Initiated Trial Contracting Delays to facilitate efficient contracting and move clinical trials forward.
