Sponsor benefits - with Cognizant SIP, sponsor organizations are able to:
- Accelerate site activation - Search for sites, investigators and facilities based on your protocol requirements. Access site and facility profiles that are up to date and comprehensive.
- Create virtual workspaces - Collaborate with your sites by securely exchanging documents and information.
- Enable remote collaboration with investigators - Cognizant SIP enables clinical research associates (CRAs) to collaborate virtually with investigators and site staff, saving travel costs and limiting COVID-19 risk.
- Maintain study oversight - Site leaders gain a clear view of staff workloads so they can allocate resources effectively, as well as proactively identify and address risks and issues.
- Track trial progress - Dashboards and reports track trial progress, including milestones, safety information and interim analyses. CRAs can electronically request access to investigators’ eRegulatory binder systems, reducing paperwork and manual data reviews.
- Improve investigator experience - Cognizant SIP leverages common workflows across sponsors, eliminating the need to learn different processes for different sponsors, alleviating much of the administrative burden of running clinical trials for multiple sponsors.
- Keep communications accurate and current - With its up-to-date roster of study and site contacts, Cognizant SIP ensures communications are routed to the correct sponsor and site personnel. Sponsors can create rules that ensure any site staff changes trigger applicable onboarding tasks, such as training and document completion.
- Automate documentation - Cognizant SIP makes it convenient to create, access and exchange documents. It automatically generates many site documents from site and investigator profiles already in the platform. Sponsors can easily access documents, such as electronically-signed CVs and Form 1572s. Investigators and other clinical stakeholders can review and acknowledge safety notifications across multiple studies.
- Access virtual training course - Cognizant SIP’s training module includes protocol-specific and other study-related offerings. Through the learning management system, sponsors recognize over 1,900 Mutually-Recognized Training (MRT) courses that sites can complete, reducing redundant training for sites. Training records are stored in a single location, enabling sponsors and sites to track them, avoid duplicate trainings and facilitate proper compliance and credit.
