Shortlist CROs on the trials they delivered

Filter CROs by indication, phase, region and start year, then open the trials behind each one before the RFP goes out.

Individual plan, $249/seat/mo. Card required.

A supplier page for one contract research organization: its roles, site, country and trial-sponsor counts beside a world map of its site locations
A supplier page for one CRO: sites, countries and trials as sponsor or collaborator beside a map of its site locations. Captured from production data on 2026-10-10.

The problem today

Every capabilities deck claims deep experience in your indication. Verifying the claim means searching the registry sponsor by sponsor, and most entries never name the CRO. The shortlist ends up shaped by who presented best and who the team used last time.

Why this beats what you do now

  • A shortlist with reasons attached. Each CRO on the list opens to the trials that put it there.
  • The limits are on the page. Every ranking states how many of its trials name a vendor.
  • Attribution and confidence per row. The leaderboard shows how each vendor was matched and how confident the match is.
  • Ready before the RFP. The Individual plan is published at $249/seat/mo and starts with a 14-day trial.

What you can answer

Pages marked free open without an account. The rest open in the product, starting with a 14-day trial.

Which CROs have trials in my indication, phase and region?

Pick an indication, phase, country or region and start-year window, and the Clinical Research Map leaderboard ranks vendors by distinct trials in that cut. Each row shows the vendor's most recent trial year, its countries and its attribution and confidence.

How much of a ranking rests on named CRO records?

A notice above the leaderboard states how many trials in your cut name a contract-research vendor, and what percentage of the cut that is. Vendors are matched as sponsor or collaborator, and full vendor-of-record extraction is still pending.

Does a vendor's footprint match the trials behind it?

The Footprint button on a leaderboard row draws that vendor's delivered-trial footprint over the map of supplier sites. The trial count in the same row opens the list of studies behind it.

Which suppliers carry diversity designations?

Suppliers shows SAM.gov ownership-diversity designations, which are small-business self-certifications by US federal contractors. The page notes that a missing designation says nothing about a supplier's diversity.

What climate and workforce disclosures has a company made?

ESG shows corporate climate targets and workforce and board diversity, extracted from companies' own public disclosures. With the licensed lane, the validated targets from the Science Based Targets initiative sit beside them so a claim can be cross-checked.

Does a vendor have FDA enforcement history?

FDA Enforcement lists a firm's inspections and Form 483s, warning and untitled letters, recalls, import refusals and debarments from public US FDA data, so a shortlisted vendor can be checked before an RFP. An item links to the organization's page when a record exists under that name.

Scope

Trial registries name a CRO on only part of their studies, and vendors are matched to trials as sponsor or collaborator. Every leaderboard states what share of the trials in your selection name a vendor, and each row shows its attribution and confidence. Supplier diversity data comes from self-certifications and a blank is never read as a no.
