About Us
Our Team
DSP functions with a lean but very efficient team of approximately 30 employees located in our Parsippany office. Our monitors are all regionally based and located throughout the US and Canada. We act as an extension of your company, and you'll come to think of our staff as your own employees.
We are proud of a very low turnover rate amongst our staff, creating greater study continuity, fewer learning curves, lower training costs, and lower overall study costs.
Because we're a small CRO, senior executives are very accessible and we value open, direct lines of communication with our clients.
Your assigned Study Manager is your decision maker!
