What Happens When a Sponsor Walks Away Early?

DarshanTalks Podcast

About

 Early termination by a sponsor can leave a clinical research site holding the bill for prep work, fees, and staffing. In this episode, Darshan explains the contract language every site should insist on to stay protected. He covers guaranteed payment for all work performed up to the termination date, reimbursement for non-cancelable expenses like IRB fees and advertising, and why a wind-down clause is essential for chart reviews, final visits, and data queries. He also explores when minimum payments or upfront funds are realistic to request. Protecting these terms upfront keeps an unexpected sponsor exit from destabilizing your operations.
