PRA International is one of the world's leading Global Clinical Research Organisations. With an established presence, spanning more that 30 years, they have enjoyed continual growth and success, currently employing 3,200 staff globally. PRA have managed to continually build and enhance their reputation through delivering a service that is reliable, with a high level of therapeutic expertise and global access to knowledge. This is enhanced by having a wealth of CRO, clinical and product development expertise within their senior management, all of whom work closely alongside their customers. PRA International - History Established in the late 1970's with name changed to Pharmaceutical Research Associates Inc., in 1981 with focus on data management in Virginia, USA. In 1991, PRA expanded its service offering to include clinical trial management and opened their first European location. 1996 saw the company name change to PRA International as the company moved towards becoming a global CRO with 333 employees. In 1997, PRA acquired International Medical and Technical Consultants (IMTCI), a CRO based in Lenexa, Kansas. This increased PRA International's clinical trials leadership, expertise and experience within the key therapeutic areas of allergy and respiratory. Additionally they gained a Phase I facility. In 1999, PRA acquired Valorum (UK) Ltd, based in Reading, UK. This acquisition enhanced their regulatory expertise and expanded PRA's trial management footprint in Europe. In 2000, PRA acquired ARCAM, an international CRO based in Paris, France. This further enhanced PRAs capability in Europe, across a number of therapeutic areas within clinical trial management, project management and quality assurance. This enhanced PRAs European footprint to in excess of 250 employees. In 2002, PRA acquired Staticon International Espana, an established CRO in Madrid, Spain, further developed their service offering in Europe and in particular bringing enhanced capability in electronic data capture and management. In 2002, PRA acquired CroMedica, a CRO headquartered in Canada with key expertise in the CNS therapeutic area and global operations. Several of their offices now represent PRA in Victoria, British Columbia; San Diego, California; Sao Paulo, Brazil; Johannesburg and Cape Town, South Africa; and Sydney, Australia. In November 2004, PRA became a publicly traded company on the NASDAQ exchange. In June 2006, PRA acquired Pharma Bio-Research, an early phase clinical development and bioanalytical laboratory company based in The Netherlands, forming the basis for the group within PRA now known as Early Development Services. In October 2007, PRA acquired Pharmacon, a clinical research organisation based in Berlin, Germany. Specialising in Phase I studies with patients in several Central European countries, this was an important step in PRA's Early Development Services plan to further strengthen its position as an industry leader. PRA returned to being a privately held company when it was reacquired by Genstar Capital, LLC in December 2007. Genstar had been PRA's largest investor before the initial public offering in 2004.

Additionally, the client could benefit from a single point of contact for their operational and commercial needs. In executing this strategy, PRA set out to build a team of Project Delivery professionals who would work alongside operational and commercial groups to coordinate activities relating to specific accounts. Over the last 18 months, PRA have targeted experienced global study management and clinical operations professionals, both internally and externally, who have sought to leverage their clinical research knowledge and experience in a client facing role. Today, the Project Delivery team is 13 strong and is led by six General Partners worldwide. Their remit is to provide client management, leadership and project mentorship with the goal of providing outstanding customer delivery and developing a strong, long-term relationship with the customer.
