Staffing for Efficiency & Expertise: How to Allocate Resources and Leverage Service Providers in Start Up

Study startup remains one of the most complex, misunderstood, and resource-intensive stages of the clinical trial lifecycle. As protocols grow more intricate and timelines tighten, sites and sponsors alike face mounting pressure to optimize staffing, streamline processes, and improve collaboration.

In this joint webinar from Florence Healthcare and WCG, industry experts will share actionable strategies to right-size your startup teams, clarify roles, and partner effectively with service providers to eliminate “white space” across handoffs. Drawing from the Florence’s Budgets Working Group’s latest best practices, the discussion will tackle how to navigate budget negotiations, align expectations between sponsors and sites, and use data-driven metrics to drive ongoing process improvement.

Whether you’re a research site balancing staff bandwidth or a sponsor looking to accelerate site activation, this session will provide clarity, tools, and confidence to build more efficient—and expert—startup operations.
