Our functional service provider (FSP) partnerships provide support for a specific function or functions—such as clinical operations or pharmacovigilance—across protocols, medicinal products, a portfolio of studies, or a company.
Our FSP engagements use a flexible mix of systems, processes, oversight and facilities–yours or ours. Contracts are typically allotted by function rather than by study and use cost models based on full-time equivalents (FTEs), units, or time and materials. In the FTE model, our personnel typically work directly within a sponsor’s existing SOPs and platforms.
PPD FSP solutions are a good fit for sponsors who would like closer control and visibility of clinical development operations and who have the infrastructure to assume greater management responsibility. This model also helps sponsors expand their capabilities or capacity using top-tier talent, while, at the same time, leveraging their own internal strengths and capabilities.
