This is a clinical pharmacology data-coordination and monitoring contract centered on pediatric drug studies, regulatory support, and clinical trial operations. That is far outside IPPRA’s core social-behavioral portfolio in risk, warning, energy, education policy, and public opinion research, so this would not plausibly be pursued by this team as PI-level work.
