CRO one acronym with two meanings ?
Contract research organizations and clinical research organizations share an acronym; sometimes the names are even used interchangeably. Whether this is one kind of company or two depends on whom we talk to.
While contract research organizations can span the entire pharma pipeline from drug discovery to clinical trials and beyond, a clinical research company mostly manages clinical trials. People in the R&D business often consider clinical research management companies a subset of the broader CRO category.
But those in the medical and public health sector tend to consider clinical research organizations their own species, unrelated to CROs that focus on bench work. That’s something to bear in mind when applying for a CRO job: Make sure we research prospective companies well so we know what kind of company we're talking to.
