The proliferation of virtual research models and decline in study enrollment rates demands a new range of deep expertise along the entire spectrum of study design and execution, including hybrid and fully virtual. Premier’s Virtual Research Group delivers fully integrated, virtual site solutions to accelerate clinical research and augment our full service clinical research services.

Our Virtual Research Group is a U.S.-based virtual site purpose-built to meet the evolving demands of sponsors. Whether you’re seeking a fully virtual study solution or opportunities to leverage virtual solutions as part of your overall study design, we can help you broaden patient access, reduce participation burden, and optimize retention across both virtual and hybrid trial models.

Seamless Integration and Expert Execution At Every Phase, From Start Up to Long-Term Follow-Up

Our clinical team is comprised of seasoned Principal Investigators, Sub-Investigators, Clinical Research Coordinators, and operational leaders—all trained to the highest standards in Good Clinical Practice (GCP), HIPAA compliance, and ALCOA-C documentation. From remote protocol assessments and eConsent to AE/SAE documentation and secure data handling, we provide end-to-end site execution with meticulous oversight.

As the central engine of virtual operations, we deliver the full scope of site responsibilities without reliance on physical infrastructure—ensuring consistency, speed, and scalability across studies and therapeutic areas. When required, we collaborate directly with home healthcare providers to ensure clinical consistency and quality, all while maintaining independent systems to safeguard Protected Health Information.

Our capabilities extend beyond primary endpoints and individual site execution. We leverage our virtual research solutions in support of both virtual and hybrid programs requiring long-term follow-up efforts including adverse event tracking, the procurement of hospitalization records and milestone reporting to ensure safety, continuity, and data integrity long after initial participation. This ensures both data quality and patient retention.

Strengthening Patient Recruitment, Engagement, and Retention With Personalized Outreach and Customized, Data-Driven Strategies

Patient recruitment is powered by a dedicated in-house team specializing in compliant digital outreach. Through IRB-approved campaigns on platforms such as Facebook and Instagram, we identify, pre-screen, and nurture prospective participants using customized landing pages and screener tools. Our approach is supported by robust analytics, while tailored recruitment assets—such as patient brochures and journey maps—enhance site engagement and enrollment outcomes.

Beyond recruitment, we recognize that retention is equally essential to trial success. Our Patient Engagement and Retention (PER) team provides individualized support throughout the participant journey. Through proactive, multilingual outreach via phone, text, and email, the PER team ensures patients remain informed, engaged, and empowered. From troubleshooting technical challenges to capturing milestones and safety events between visits, our PER team serves as the connective thread between participants and the broader study team—streamlining communications and easing operational burdens for both sponsors and sites.

Redefining Study Delivery With a Flexible, Tech-Driven Model for Faster, Patient-Centered Results

With an infrastructure designed for adaptability and precision, we offer a scalable, technology-enabled model that integrates seamlessly with sponsor or CRO workflows. Whether delivering fully virtual trials or partnering with Premier’s full service clinical research team, we bring measurable value through accelerated startup timelines, high-quality data collection, and exceptional participant support.

 We are redefining what site performance looks like in the virtual research era. Wherever your trial needs to go, we are positioned to take it there—reliably, efficiently, and with the patient at the center.
