Site Management

GRS performs site management services to act as the liaison between the site, the sponsor and the conduct of the study. We do this by continuous communication with every study site, starting with the collection of regulatory documents and continuing throughout enrollment, follow-up and project completion. GRS understands that site training is key to ensure proper study conduct, to ensure quality data collection and to keep our sponsors' projects on top of the to-do list. GRS Project Managers and CRAs institute training programs for all site staff to ensure adherence to the protocol as well as timely patient recruitment. We develop effective study protocol tools, newsletters and subject enrollment aids to reinforce site staff training. In addition, weekly teleconferences are scheduled with the site throughout the project that allows our staff to review study status, CRF and query completion and assist with protocol questions and any other study related activities to ensure the study proceeds in a timely manner. GRS can also utilize our proprietary site relationship management technology by placing an icon on every study site and project team computer that allows sites to send/receive emails, access a library of study-related documents, provide texting capabilities to subjects for study reminders and creates an on line portal to virtual meeting rooms. The desktop tool ensures all study information is current, prioritized, highly visible as well as providing secure, on-line meeting capabilities, document sharing and training sessions for effective real-time global site management.
