The FTE model is usually a longer term, very flexible long-term agreement. You essentially hire our scientific experts for your project’s specific needs to work for you for a fixed period of time. This provides maximum flexibility in the course of work that is done and generally promotes a close working relationship with both the CRO and the person or persons actually doing the work.
This is an ideal relationship if your projects have additional downstream application expertise needs, or you are working in a general area, such as animal model studies; where you have a series of experiments that shows activity and represents IP and you want to prepare compounds based on ever-evolving data. Essentially, the FTE model provides an intimate and specialized expertise as an extension of your own lab or department. Get the manpower you need, when you need it!
