In today’s demanding environment, there is constant pressure to improve the quality and efficiency of clinical research. While in some cases quality can be defined and improved by individual organizations, others require collaboration between industry, regulators, hospitals, academia and the many other players in clinical research. The Data Quality Research Institute will be the catalyst promoting the collaboration to advance the quality of clinical data.
