Advanced Site Management Finance and Productivity Enhanced Business Practices for Clinical Research Programs (April 23-24, 2015)

The Society of Clinical Research Associates (SoCRA) recognizes the continuing need for education for Clinical Research Professionals responsible for the activities at the research site or institution. The topic of financial practices and business processes continues to be a challenge for clinical research sites. The purpose of this workshop is to assist Site Managers, Site Coordinators, and Research Associates in improving their skills and their understanding of the practical financial and business tasks related to clinical research. This workshop will focus on providing tools and techniques that the participants can immediately utilize to benefit their clinical research programs.

The goal will be accomplished through lecture, case study, practical application and hands-on experimentation facilitated by experienced clinical research professionals. Information and practical application recommendations will be discussed regarding all of the functions of the research site related to finance, productivity, budgeting, billing, and executive reporting.
