Flexible Engagement We plug in where you need speed, expertise, or rescue.
A Model for Every Need
Prana is built for agility. We don't force a rigid, one-size-fits-all process. Instead, we offer a range of engagement models designed to meet you where you are—from targeted support for a specific milestone to a full-service partnership.
- Full Study Delivery: A full-service partnership where Prana acts as your primary, accountable CRO from protocol to closeout.
- Pod-based: Short-term (duration agreed upon based on sponsors' needs), high-impact teams to accelerate specific milestones like site activation or study start-up.
- Workstream-based: End-to-end ownership of a discrete functional area, like monitoring, data management, or eTMF.
01. Full Service: Own the Full Study
Best For:
Sponsors seeking a primary, full-service CRO relationship with a focused partner committed to delivering measurable outcomes.
Example Support:
- Independent Oversight: Rapid corrective action plans and independent governance to protect timelines and data quality.
- Full Study Delivery: A complete, end-to-end CRO partnership built on a foundation of senior leadership and transparency.
02. Bridge Gaps Between Your Partners
Best For:
Sponsors who want to maintain control of their study but need targeted, high-velocity execution capacity to hit key milestones—without switching CRO partners.
Example Support:
- Study Start-up Activation Pod: End-to-end site activation support to accelerate "greenlit to enroll" readiness.
- Surge Support: Expert teams for peak workload periods like country/site package preparation or vendor coordination.
03. Augment Your In-House Team (FSP Model)
Best For:
Sponsors who want to keep full ownership and control of their study, but need embedded, sponsor-aligned capacity to hit milestones.
Example Support (FSP Pods & Embedded Roles):
- Study Start-up Activation Pod (Embedded FSP): A dedicated start-up pod embedded into your team to run end-to-end activation workstreams—essential docs, site outreach cadence, tracker ownership, escalation management—accelerating "greenlit to enroll" readiness.
- Start-up Surge Staffing (FSP): Rapid deployment of experienced start-up specialists during peak periods (country/site package prep, IRB/REB coordination, contracts/budget follow-ups, vendor readiness).
- Clinical Ops Leadership Augmentation: Embedded Program/Study Operations Lead or CTM/Startup Lead to drive governance, unblock decisions, and maintain predictable cadence across sites, vendors, and internal stakeholders.
- Operational Back-Office Pod (24–48h): Embedded support for trackers, status reporting, vendor reconciliation, TMF coordination, and action log management—so your internal leaders stay focused on decisions and relationships.
The Prana Standard: Every Engagement Includes:
A Partner, Not a PM
Your point of contact is a senior executive with deep sponsor-side experience who owns the outcome, not just the project plan. This means direct access to decision-makers, not layers of coordinators.
Glass-Box Transparency
Real-time dashboards show activation blockers, RBQM action logs, TMF health, and budget variance. You see what we see, as we see it, with no surprises.
24-48h Execution Cadence
Your study moves daily, not weekly. Our global ops pod is built to turn documents, QC, and reporting in 24-48 hours, accelerating your timelines.
Written Delivery Targets
We commit to specific milestones and outcomes with governance to those targets. Outcomes over hours—you pay for measurable results, not utilization metrics.
AI-Driven Workflows
Leverage intelligent automation to reduce manual rework, accelerate data processing, and streamline workflows for faster, more predictable trial cycles.
RBQM-First Oversight
Proactive, risk-based quality management (RBQM) identifies potential issues early, ensuring cleaner data, fewer protocol deviations, and enhanced inspection readiness from day one.
A Note For Our CRO Partners
We believe a rising tide lifts all ships. Prana also partners with other CROs who need targeted, reliable support for specific workstreams or geographies. Our flexible model means we can plug into your delivery structure without disrupting your client relationships. If you need to add speed or expertise to a high-priority program, let's talk.
