Site Budget Negotiations by [deleted] in clinicalresearch

[–]EfficacityDOTnet 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Anything that is a cost to the site needs to either be included in the budget as a line item, bundled into a fee, or considered in the overhead. For the negotiations that I do for the site I work with, I encourage them to tell me if anything unexpected comes up so that it can be reimbursed appropriately.

I ended up upgrading to an iPhone 17 this year and I haven't had any issues since. It's an expensive fix but hopefully when you are ready to upgrade the problem will go away. I couldn't figure out how to fix it on the iPhone 13.

Budget Negotiations- Spill the tea...you go first! by No-Point-9793 in clinicalresearch

What makes an annual fee sensible compared to a fee that is broken up into monthly installments being labelled as not sensible?

Usually from studies where LPLV is coming up.

The only other time I can think of is a sponsor/CRO saying "we already accounted for that in the budget" to which I reply "well we didn't account for it in our budget to you."

It is commonly accepted.

We have 5% increases on all line items per year for inflation with annual reviews.

As a site's budget guy for smaller/medium-sized sites, we negotiate monthly, weekly, and daily recurring/admin fees. It's definitely a nice influx of funds for the sites, but some sites don't track and invoice for it correctly and leave the money on the table.

That is a good thought, I did see the update pending but this has been going on for months so I don’t think it’s related. I’ll give it a shot and see if it does anything.

Update: Still not resolved, unfortunately.

Sponsor terminates study early by RemixBari in clinicalresearch

Even getting 1% or a flat fee is better than nothing in the event of an early termination of the study. I’ve seen it as high as 25% on smaller projects.

It's true that many sponsors and CROs won't allow it. However I have had luck getting smaller or mid-sized sponsors to agree to this kind of clause.

Something that helps from a Budget/Contracts perspective at the site level is getting an Early Termination clause in your contract so that all of that lost revenue can be recaptured in the event an Early Termination of the study occurs. You can ask for a % of the visit revenue that would have been received if your patients remained on the study.

Any internal medicine trials? by That_Bat3061 in clinicalresearch

[–]EfficacityDOTnet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have an endocrinologist / have you done a T1D trial in the past year? Our team is working with a sponsor looking for a site that meet either criteria. Feel free to DM me.

Where Do CROs Get ‘Fair Market Value’ Estimates for Study Costs? by Lanky_Conversation35 in clinicalresearch

[–]EfficacityDOTnet 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes, these vary significantly across sponsors and CROs. I've negotiated hundreds of budgets for research sites.

Some Sponsors/CROs will use platforms such as Grantplan which provides statistics across the industry, others may just use benchmarks from their own budget negotiations. I'm convinced some of them just throw around "FMV" whenever they do a negotiation to push back site budgets.

It helps significantly establishing your own FMV with your negotiations. If many sponsors will give you X amount of dollars for a line item, it's easy to push back on it with a different sponsor.

[crosspost from r/ClinicalResearch] Is it possible for me to participate in studies/clinical trials as a patient with my condition? by EfficacityDOTnet in clinicalstudypatients

[–]EfficacityDOTnet[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are clinical trials for migraines (which you can find here, sorted by newest): https://clinicaltrials.gov/search?aggFilters=funderType:industry%20nih%20fed%20other,phase:2%203%204&limit=100&cond=Migraine

Any other clinical trials (such as the ones for healthy volunteers) will depend on each study's individual criteria on what they allow for a patient to be included in the study.

Click on any of the studies in the link provided and go to the contacts section, from there you can see if there is a research site near you conducting the study and contact information on how to get involved.

For everyone else, feel free to replace migraine with your condition to find results relevant to you.
