ACRP DCT Budget Buddy™
Budgeting for decentralized clinical trials (DCT) at your site just got a whole lot easier. ACRP is proud to offer a new tool to help site teams plan DCT trial budgets.
Understanding potential budget pitfalls — and planning to avoid them — is critical for site success. Lean on the collective experiences and expertise of site professionals who have been there, done that, and offered to share.
ACRP’s DCT Budget Buddy™ helps ensure you’re asking yourself the right questions when preparing DCT trial budgets, with specific consideration for:
Planning
Technology
Patient Engagement and Management
Patient-Focused Technology
Data Management and Quality Control
Monitoring and Site Management
Regulatory Compliance
ACRP’s DCT Budget Buddy™ can be customized for each of your trials involving DCT elements, ensuring you always have a partner helping make sure your site is accurately and adequately compensated.
ACRP is committed to supporting clinical research professionals as they navigate adoption of decentralized clinical trials (DCTs). This library of resources is designed to provide a foundational understanding of DCTs, community perspectives, and practical tools to help you along your journey.
