Clinical Trial Project Management

PPD believes the project manager is the key to a study's success. We assign project managers who have experience in clinical and late-stage research. The project manager is responsible for the technical and administrative aspects of the study as defined by the client.

Leadership, Communication, Results

A project manager:

• Serves as a primary resource and point of communication for the client and project team
• Provides leadership and direction to the project team, including specifications for time, quality and cost of deliverables
• Utilizes PPD's global capabilities, systems and processes to assure efficiency and accuracy throughout the project
• Creates a management framework to optimize the skills of functional leads, and drives focus on the quality and efficiency of individual tasks
• Follows the PPD global risk management process, addressing potential obstacles to project delivery
• Maintains a flexible, can-do approach to address issues innovatively and proactively
