Operational Excellence

Behind every PHRI investigator is a great study team – and under that study team lies a deep bedrock of operational excellence.

PHRI research is supported by a rich system of highly skilled people and resources specializing in program management, biostatistical analysis, information technologies and data centre, contract negotiation, financial services, QA and regulatory compliance, laboratories and biobanking.

Our operational approach focuses on scientific integrity and reliability across all stages and needs of global studies and clinical trials. Here’s a look at what we do, operationally, across PHRI.

Program Management

Working closely with the principal investigator(s) from initial design to completion and publication, our program directors, program managers and research coordinators support study conduct, including activity at investigative sites, sponsors internationally, and more.
