Four questions, no slides

  1. 01Which sponsor request did you agree to last year that you would not agree to again?
  2. 02Where is your coordinator time going that a sponsor would not guess?
  3. 03What has changed in the last twelve months about how you decide to take a study?
  4. 04What is the one thing a sponsor could do differently that would matter more than a rate increase?
