Contracting out research is useful to companies for a variety of reasons:
GLP Requirements
Speed & Cost
Flexibility in Expertise
Access to facilities
When contracting research, its important to find the right vendor. Experimental protocols are rarely perfect, and sometimes tinkering is needed for success. Companies need a researcher who understands the objectives of the experiment and can help the vendor achieve the main goals. It can be challenging to find a researcher who can meet these needs. Having a dedicated project manager can vastly improve the outcome of experimentation and achieve positive results faster.
