A decision tree for one of the most overlooked calls in clinical research: which resourcing model actually fits your programme.
Full-service, FSP and specialist resourcing are not different tiers of the same service. They solve different problems, and confusing them is how sponsors end up with the wrong governance structure or the wrong contract discovered six months into a programme.
Our Strategic Solutions team built a simple decision tree to cut through that: one question on speed versus control, a second on the kind of gap you are resourcing for. The guide walks through both, with real examples of the requests that signal each model.
What’s inside:
- A two-question framework for matching the model to the moment
- Clear definitions of full-service, FSP and specialist resourcing
- The failure patterns that show up when the wrong model gets chosen
- 12 questions to ask any resourcing partner before you commit
