"More than a Thousand households enrolled in record time and followed up throughout the study with home visits (in the midst of lockdowns) is what I would call LARGE SCALE!"
I know that most studies (even before the COVID, but especially during the pandemic) took years between starting and locking down data (and that is not taking into account the actual study duration). The operational infrastructure that you enabled for ConCorD19 was the first time that all of us PIs were part of a study that was implemented within weeks of design and data locked down within a few weeks of study end. This is unprecedented in my experience

"The day to day logistics of every aspect of the trial were managed, including procurement of the necessary biospecimen collection kits and transportation supplies"
Our COVID-19 clinical trial required coordination of field teams, timed biospecimen collection and the processing, storage and transportation of clinical samples (across international borders). The management of data that accrued in the trial database in real time ensured that the protocol was adhered to and provided the principle investigators tools to follow participant registration and biospecimen collection. In every regard, the operational needs of the trial were facilitated by RAN BioLinks. The day to day logistics of every aspect of the trial were managed, including procurement of the necessary biospecimen collection kits and transportation supplies, securing regulatory approvals for biospecimen transfers and coordinating border and customs requirements to expedite transfers. I look forward to working with RAN BioLinks in the future.
