Our Mission
To deliver top-tier CRO capabilities at a fair price with exceptional customer service
Our journey began in 2014 when a sponsor presented a pressing need to our founder. The sponsor couldn’t find a CRO capable of running a study tailored to their unique needs while providing the attention and quality their innovation demanded. Determined to meet this challenge, we assembled a dedicated team, designed the study according to the sponsor’s specific requirements, and successfully completed the trial.
In the years that followed, this sponsor and countless others began turning to Catawba Research when the traditional “one size fits all” approach from other providers failed to meet their needs. Our personalized approach and commitment to excellence resonated with sponsors, and word quickly spread.
Today, a decade later, we have partnered with more than 30 sponsors and successfully completed nearly 100 projects. Sponsors of all sizes and stages of development continue to rely on Catawba Research to deliver solutions for their most challenging needs, always with the highest focus on data quality and customer service.
With our growing success as a global CRO, we are committed to our agile approach to study delivery and the active role that our executive leaders play in every project. With a fixed-budget mentality, innovative trial management, robust quality assurance, and passion for people, Catawba Research is a full-service CRO developing treatments for those in need.
Remembering that the patient is always the reason for our work, Catawba Research seeks to be an innovator in the field of clinical research, building confidence in our partners throughout the execution of a clinical trial. We deliver to customers and all our stakeholders our core values of excellence, collaboration, and transparency, ensuring that our partners can trust in our dedication and expertise.
Our name, Catawba Research, is inspired by the Catawba River, which starts in the Appalachian Mountains and flows into the Piedmont region of North Carolina. Just as water is a life source, our work aims to enhance the quality of life for people suffering from treatable diseases. We are proud to carry the name and mission forward, increasing quality of life through our dedication to clinical research.
