Sponsors / CROs
Sponsor/CRO site capabilities for recruitment, startup, source, lab, and study execution.
ACRI brings clinical research directly into physician practices. Our team supports Sponsors/CROs with EHR-enabled patient identification, board-certified physician access, regulatory and budget support, source and EDC experience, monitor resources, IP storage, lab equipment, and recruitment operations.
ACRI Site Model
Clinical research taken directly to practicing physicians and their patients.
ACRI develops relationships with practicing physicians and prepares practices to conduct clinical research with the training, guidance, resources, and expertise needed to become research-ready sites. This gives sponsor teams access to patient populations already connected to care while ACRI manages the research details.
Board-certified physicians support study conduct across medical conditions with patient care and study integrity in focus.
Our staff supports recruitment, scheduling, paperwork, data collection, regulatory compliance, and sponsor communication.
