What company information is included
in the eDirectory of the Clinical Trials Industry? |
|
The type of information included is tailored to each group or
company type. Companies are grouped as sponsors (pharmaceutical,
biotech and medical device), CROs, SMOs, investigative sites, academic
medical centers, independent service providers and consultants,
and IRBs. All company profiles include address, phone/fax numbers,
e-mail, web address, investigator, sponsor or CRO contact information,
number of employees, revenues, therapeutic areas, phase focus and
more. |

|
How is this information collected?
|
|
CenterWatch contacts companies, through various methods, asking
them to submit a FREE company listing into the eDirectory
database. A representative from each company fills out a listing
form and submits it to CenterWatch. Each company receives a username
and password to access and update their company listing. |
 |
|
|
How often is this information updated?
|
|
The eDirectory is updated on an ongoing basis. Companies
in this database have the ability to login and update their company
listing at any time. Periodic reminders are sent to these companies
to encourage them to review their information and ensure that it
is up-to-date. CenterWatch constantly searches for and contacts
new companies to add their information to this dynamic, searchable
database. New companies can submit their listing for FREE at any
time during the year. |
|
|
|

If I have an Industry Provider
or Research Center Profile Page on www.centerwatch.com is my company
automatically included in the eDirectory of the Clinical Trials

and submit it into the eDirectory for me? |
|
No. The eDirectory is a completely separate service and
includes different information than what is included on the online
profile pages. CenterWatch will not complete any company listings
on behalf of a company, thus is not responsible for any erroneous
information. It is important to CenterWatch that your company’s
listing is accurately completed and maintained by a representative
from your company. |
