There is also a description of the Research Resources Package for Small Businesses, our effort to make collaborations between faculty and local companies more frequent and easier to accomplish. For faculty, we are working hard to provide useful information to assist you in your research. In addition to links to the faculty expertise database, Sponsored Projects Administration, and the IRB, for example, we are planning to consolidate information about performing research at Fairview or using Fairview resources. We are developing a new catalogue of unique techniques, research materials, and services within the AHC, and will provide new University policies and documents regarding confidentiality agreements and standard research agreements as they are developed. We hope to also provide a listing of active clinical trials at the AHC in the future.
Sponsors greatly appreciate prompt and frequent communications.
This pressure is exerted downwards through companies and results in nervous medical directors, project managers, clinical research associates, and study monitors. An easy means to manage reciprocal high expectations is to maintain open communication. Let each other know why a specific activity is or is not occurring and what can be expected and when. Budgets can be negotiated. When presented with a carefully developed and documented budget for performing a trial at an AHC site, the majority of sponsors will offer a reasonable budget.
