CRA’s Therapeutic Areas

Bridging the gap between idea and opportunity

The CRA investigative leads have a wide range of experience in the coordination and monitoring of multi-site clinical trials.

Our investigator knowledge base extends from translational research to all phases of clinical trails and pragmatic studies. This expertise is complemented by the CRA staff who have a breadth of experience in clinical and translation research in multiple fields. The CRA aims to facilitate the generation of clinical research to produce evidence-based knowledge that saves lives and improves health. To this end, the therapeutic expetise within the CRA helps bridge the gap between idea and opportunity.

Testimonial

“I recently had the pleasure of working with the CRA on a fairly complex grant application. Suffice to say, the grant submission would not have happened without the amazing proposal development team at the CRA. I worked with the team to assemble multiple grant pieces, schedule meetings with various collaborators and stakeholders, and maintain a well-ordered set of tasks that each had very finite timelines in order to meet the overall grant deadline. Working with the CRA was like having extra sets of very talented eyes, ears, and hands to bring together a grant proposal submission that we were all proud of. Funded or not … I’m excited to work with the CRA proposal development team again in the very near future.”
