Study Startup

Embark on your research journey with confidence through our Study Startup Services, meticulously designed to streamline your project’s initiation phase. Our Project Kick Off Meeting brings stakeholders together to establish a solid foundation, introducing the study team and project scope, aligning on timelines, and detailing execution and communication plans. Our robust escalation and issue resolution process ensures smooth project flow.

When it comes to Feasibility and Site Access, we go above and beyond. We leverage our expertise to identify sites with the optimal therapeutic area experience and access to the desired patient population. Utilizing the Diversity Site Assessment Tool (DSAT), pioneered by our CEO, Dr. Diana Foster, we assess sites comprehensively.

DSAT benchmarks sites on 25 critical factors, providing a numerical score indicative of their diversity and inclusion practices. Armed with this valuable insight, sites can utilize our DTEACHTM Best Practices Portal for targeted improvements, ensuring successful study enrollment and performance. Contact us for a proactive approach to study startup, where precision and diversity go hand in hand.
