- Good Research Practice training for all project participants
- Study design assistance
- Spot checks once the study is underway
- QA/QC reporting at the end of the project
Evaluate
We can get research data and documentation in line with best research practices, evaluating:
- How statistical analyses were conducted
- The transparent and traceable storage of raw data
- Compliance with specific relevant and technical guidelines
- Adherence to ALCOAplus
- Awareness of research bias
- Documentation comprehensiveness
Coach
We offer strategic guidance for planning and conducting drug discovery projects, including:
