Continuing Your Research Mission -- Even as Budgets Tighten

Four ways to power your research despite budget cuts

As funding for clinical research becomes increasingly uncertain, with significant research budget cuts announced by federal agencies like the National Institutes of Health (NIH), we want to assure you that OpenClinica is here to help organizations advancing medical research, even in the face of tightening budgets.

The NIH’s proposed cuts to indirect support, which are funds for research infrastructure, have raised concerns across the academic and sponsor sectors. These cuts to vital resources that support clinical trials, including areas like staffing, lab space, and technology put additional stress on the system. Despite the potential financial strain, there are solutions for clinical trials that can help bridge the gap and ensure that your research efforts remain strong.
