From Feasibility to First Choice: What Sponsors Really Want

Hear real examples of what works, common red flags that eliminate sites from consideration, and the specific feasibility indicators that influence awards. Learn what “study-ready” actually means and how to build trusted relationships that lead to increased study opportunities.

Breakout Session II

What You’re Not Charging For: From Identification to Justification

This session highlights where hidden costs are increasing and how they affect site budgets. After a quick refresher on tracking overhead, the focus shifts to newer pressures like political requirements, patient comfort costs, training expenses, academic pricing differences, and global cost variation. Learn how to justify these costs to sponsors, present them as value, and stay both sustainable and competitive.
