Abstract
Certain embodiments of the present invention provide clinical site information to clinical trial managers to support clinical trial management. One embodiment is a method for providing information in response to an inquiry. A plurality of site attributes is received. The site attributes can include information regarding the sites that may include clinical trial history, identification, or other site information. Each site attribute includes data elements that are associated with clinical trial sites. A site attribute is identified and a score is determined for each data element of the identified site attribute. An inquiry for clinical trial site information is received. The plurality of data elements are searched to identify at least one clinical trial site based on the inquiry. Information associated with the identified at least one clinical trial site is provided.
