Conduct Phase I-IV Respiratory, Sleep, Nephrology, Pediatric, CNS, Internal Medicine and Gastroenterology research. Our pulmonary research network has developed long term working relationships with our Sponsors and CRO’s because we have consistently met and exceeded enrollment goals. Often, CRO’s and sponsors recruit us to help them meet their enrollment goals, as well as to train or educate sites who are struggling with Asthma, COPD, bronchiectasis, OSA, or Narcolepsy subject enrollment. We are also proud members of hyperCORE International.

We have helped investigators establish or expand their research facilities, improve their quality control processes, trained sites on negotiating clinical trial agreements/budgets, implemented solid accounts receivables processes, assisted with FDA inspections, and Sponsor/IRB audits.

Professionally, I serve on SCRS’s Planning Committee. Formerly, I also served as Chairman for the Society for Clinical Research Sites’ (SCRS) Membership Committee, and on ACRP’s Committee for Investigative Sites.
