Introduction:

With regulatory inspectors increasingly finding issues with vendor oversight by
sponsor organizations, it is becoming even more important for the pharmaceutical
industry to employ efficient and accurate strategies for managing outsourced
activities. A company’s ability to identify and select the right CRO/ vendor for the
right project and managing them efficiently and effectively will help to ensure
compliance with the regulator’s expectations.

In this course, you will learn how to prepare a request for proposal (RFP), evaluate
and select the right CRO, and establish procedures for vendor oversight for projects
you need to outsource. You will also cover the techniques for successfully managing
CROs/ vendors and the shared responsibilities required by the sponsor and the
service provider. Managing Vendor performance issues will also be discussed.

The course is equally valuable for CROs/other vendors and consultants to understand
how to work effectively with sponsor organizations.
