Issues that would need to guard against when outsourcing an animal study to a university located about 1000 mi (1600 km) away from the company are as follow; Poor study design, time management, not enough money, communication and inappropriate bond between a member of the company and the university.
The study model can fail, if this happens it will affect the deadline of the vitro. For this reason, the company should make sure design study is well put together. A very good communication means need to be put in place, for example, if something goes wrong and their is no exchange of information between both parties, this could lead to the study’s pitfall. A conference call twice a day and a monthly visit at least by a member of the company to the university. With a member from both the company and university knowing each other, if extreme care is not taking improper suggestion might come up and end up putting to try in the design study that can also cause series of problem to the success of the animal study. Laws should be in place that prohibited the company workers from discussing work related projects with contractors.
