Clinical Research Atlanta (CRA) is a dedicated Clinical Research Site located in south metro Atlanta.
We have been conducting trials in multi-specialty therapeutic areas for the past 25 years with more than 450 successful trials in a wide range of therapeutic areas including vaccine and PK trials in both adult and pediatric populations. We have worked closely with more than 150 sponsors and CRO’s.
CRA takes training seriously. Our investigators and coordinators are ACRP certified. We require all research coordinators and physicians to be current in their training for GCP and Human Subject Protection. We review SOP’s every year.
The CRA Difference
Since 1992, CRA has conducted more than 450 Phase I-IV trials in many therapeutic areas, developing a strong reputation for quality research and outstanding patient recruitment performance. CRA’s success can be attributed to its exceptional staff, professional management and effective patient recruitment tactics. CRA enjoys a low staff turn-over rate which contributes to efficient operations and steady growth.
