Resource Augmentation

Maintain site continuity with a scalable solution.

Increase bandwidth, not FTEs

Through our Site Support and Resource Augmentation capabilities, we ensure your site has the resources it needs without increasing headcount. We deploy our highly trained clinical research professionals both onsite and remotely. They don’t merely perform tasks: They solve problems and adapt as the situation changes.

Our clinical research professionals can work across studies based on your site’s specific needs. That allows your team members to work at the top of their capabilities, focusing on the important, not merely the urgent.

Customized

We match resources to your requirements. For example, we can deploy a clinical research coordinator to manage data entry across studies. That may take 20 hours one week and 10 the next.

Flexible and directed

You can start and stop as needed with resource continuity throughout the duration of your contract.

Accountable

Because this is a WCG resourcing solution—not a staffing service—we monitor productivity and performance. Because this is a consultative approach, we are always available to answer questions and make adjustments as needed.

Whether you need a CRC to do data entry for 10 hours a week for a month, or a Clinical Research Nurse (CRN) to collect and record adverse events across several trials over the next year, we provide the site operational support you need:

Administrative Tasks

Delegate these duties and allow your study team to work at the top of their training

WCG Clinical Research Nurse (CRN)

Non-invasive sample collection (mouth swab, urine, sputum, nasopharyngeal swabs, etc.)
Collect and record of basic vital signs
Dispensation of oral products
Administration of surveys and questionnaires
Collection and recording of participant reported adverse events

WCG CRN staff have degrees and licenses including LPN, RN, APRN, NP and PA; the extent of candidate experience, education and
licenses based on scope of services required by your sites.
