Tips for Maintaining Quality Research Amidst the “Great Resignation”
Up to 5 million Americans have left their jobs during the ‘Great Resignation’ and that number’s still growing. While numerous industries are experiencing record turnover, it’s especially acute in healthcare. According to one report, 20% of medical professionals have left the field, including clinical trial assistants, clinical research associates, and study monitors.

5 Best Practices for Maintaining a Trial Master File (TMF)
The Trial Master File (TMF) is one of the most important systems in clinical research. It plays a pivotal role in demonstrating your assertion that your clinical study was conducted in adherence to the protocol using the principles of Good Clinical Practice (GCP).

Designing and implementing clinical trials isn’t cheap. One report submitted to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) found that the average cost of a Phase 1 trial was $4 million, while the average cost of a Phase 3 trial was $20 million. Considering that up to 85% of all trials experience delays, your budget can quickly balloon out of control.
