Is your organization in the process of putting together an RFP? Have the responses to your past RFPs fallen short of expectations? CRO teams respond to hundreds of RFPs each year. It is clear which sponsors have invested time to build internal consensus and to develop a document that clearly articulates their needs and project goals. The result is a guide that assists the CRO in assembling a higher quality response that directly addresses the needs of the sponsor. This audio conference will be the first in a three-part series designed to share best practices for optimal outsourcing.

This audio conference will address:

• Using the outsourcing process to add value
• Preparing an effective RFP
• Creating a road map to manage the RFP touchpoints
• Gaining insight into what CROs term 'best practice'
