Today’s highly competitive medical research environment poses challenges to the funding and research organizations striving to make much-needed medical breakthroughs.
These challenges include:
• Limited research dollars that demand focus on high impact, high opportunity areas;
• Increasing focus on inter-disciplinary research that necessitates more effective and efficient processes for establishing and managing cross-institutional research projects and programs; and
• Ongoing government cost pressures that drive research organizations to improve productivity, efficiency, and quality without increasing overhead.
