Core Team Process™

 The Alliance for Multispecialty Research, LLC. is a nation-wide network of seventeen independently-owned and operated Clinical Research Centers recognized as among the most experienced in the industry. AMR, while not an SMO (Site Management Organization), acknowledges the importance of multi-site coordination by offering its Core Team Process™ - a unique no-cost self-coordination service that maximizes economies of scale, consistency and self-assessment in an effort to exceed Sponsor goals ahead of schedule and under budget with a single point of communications and a self-governing Core Team Committee to ensure oversight and study / trial efficiencies.

The AMR Core Team (Committee) operates in parallel to the Program Sponsor or CRO Clinical Operations Team with AMR's Core Team Committee Chairperson functioning as our internal project manager. The Core Team Process™ is a no-cost, value-added service which strengthens each partnership developed in the industry.

The Core Team Process™ Offers...
  • An option to provide clinical Sponsors / CROs the ability to engage multiple AMR Centers of Excellence in large studies requiring diverse multiple sites/populations with centralized, no-cost coordination including, but not limited to, single point of communications/information dissemination, group budget and contract negotiations, standardization of study source documentation as well as internal Mentoring of all participating Centers.
  • A unified "core team" approach through the formulation of a self-governing CORE TEAM COMMITTEE with membership from each participating Principal Investigator Center and a designated Chairperson to serve as the primary point of contact for the duration of each respective trial, followed by post-study self assessment / reporting.

The Core Team Committee Will...

  1. Maintain communications with Sponsors' Representatives.

  2. Draw from study/indication experience of AMR Center Members / Core Team Committee to enhance efficiencies / timeframes of each study / trial.

  3. Ensure centralized internal problem-solving to address potential or existing issues impacting the study.

  8. Conduct post-study Core Team debriefings to assess / document "lessons learned" and quality assurance self-assessment.

  9. Identify Core Team opportunities to involve non-participating AMR Centers of Excellence as readily available resources to strengthen success of the whole.

  10. Assist AMR headquarters in forging on-going partnerships with Sponsors / CRO's through quality services that will help ensure success rates necessary for future trial participation opportunities.
