Once the objectives of the research are outlined, Arx staff will develop a survey instrument, host the survey, and deploy invitations to collect data from the database of KOL/HCP contacts current MSL team members interact with. We strongly suggest that KOLs have been engaged for more than one year with the team before conducting such project.

Project timelines are driven by the scope and complexity of the topics to research and is determined after the first conversation with the client.
