Start where you need us, and grow from there
Most Flex partnerships begin small. One statistical programmer. One CRA. One data manager. As programs advance, the scope grows with them.
A large biopharmaceutical sponsor came to us for a single full-time statistical programmer. The team grew to seven FTEs within the first year. By year two the engagement covered data management and biostatistics with more than 30 FTEs. Eleven years on it spans programming, application development, and biometrics IT support with more than 130 FTEs. When the sponsor faced an unexpected demand spike, we deployed more than 20 FTEs in a single month.
Scope moves in both directions. Because the contract is scoped by function, you can add statistical programming ahead of a data cut or right-size a monitoring team as sites mature, and the rest of the engagement holds steady.
Worldwide Flex sits inside Worldwide Clinical Trials. For sponsors whose programs grow into end-to-end management, the engagement can expand into full service with the same organization and the same people who already know the work.
Frequently Asked Questions
Questions about functional outsourcing
We start by understanding your pipeline, team structure, and the functions you are trying to fill. Some sponsors augment internal teams with specialized expertise. Others want full functional outsourcing for specific studies or across the portfolio. Many use hybrid models that combine functional and full-service support. We will help you figure out which approach fits. Our guide walks through the same framework.
Yes. You can start with one function and add others as your portfolio grows, add resources when programs scale up, or adjust capacity between studies. Many clients begin with functional support on a single trial and expand once they see the fit. We can also adjust to a different operating model based on a sponsors desire to move away from embedded resources or outsourced functions.
Yes. Worldwide Flex team members and contractors follow the same quality standards, SOPs, and regulatory oversight as our full-service programs. Our functional specialists are the same experts who lead full-service studies, many with 15 or more years in their functional areas.
Worldwide offers functional and full-service solutions along with hybrid models. If your program needs end-to-end study management, we can adjust from functional support into full service, or design a hybrid where some functions are outsourced and others are managed end to end.
