Who Are The Top Performing CROs of 2024?

The pharma and biopharma executives in Clinical Leader’s and Life Science Connect’s readership have told us about their struggles in efficiently vetting potential CRO partners. In response to this input, the CRO Leadership Awards were developed.

Based on research from Industry Standard Research’s Contract Research Organization Quality Benchmarking annual online survey, 42 contract research organizations were evaluated on more
than 20 different performance metrics. Research participants were recruited from biopharmaceutical companies of all sizes and were screened for decision-making influence and authority when it comes to working with contract research organizations. Respondents only evaluated companies with which they have worked on an outsourced project in the past 18 months. This level of qualification ensures that quality ratings come from actual involvement with a business and that companies identified as leaders are backed by experiential data. CROs have an opportunity to win these awards in up to three groups of outsourcing respondents — Big Pharma, Small Pharma, and Overall (combined Big and Small Pharma).
