Functional Service Provider

Helping Sponsors Improve Patient Quality of Life & Save Lives

Nearly two decades ago, KPS Life CEO David Kelly had a vision to blaze a new trail in the way drug development clinical trials were being conducted. With more than 20 years of experience in the industry, he was convinced the Full Service Outsourcing (FSO) model being utilized was no longer the best way to serve biopharmaceutical Sponsors.

It was in this spirit that KPS Life was founded. Today, we proudly stand out as an independent industry leader, providing our services globally across six continents.

As an organization focused on curating outsourced services and solutions for Phase I through Phase IV clinical trials, our Functional Service Provider (FSP) model is a time tested, and market proven alternative strategy that has an unmatched level of success. By engaging the best talent and latest technology to deliver customer specific, industry leading resources, cost efficiencies, and top-quality outcomes we deliver an unrivaled level of speed and responsiveness.

Helping Sponsors Improve Patient Quality of Life & Save Lives

KPS Life’s FSP model brings a wide range of benefits and advantages to the clinical trial process, including:

Our Sponsor partners maintain 100% strategic control over their projects while working with us. Each Sponsor is assigned an experienced KPS Life Program Manager to ensure the highest levels of quality outcomes and collaboration. In addition, every project is assigned an Executive Sponsor from our leadership team, to whom our clients have complete access.

Helping Sponsors Improve Patient Quality of Life & Save Lives

Meaningful operational efficiencies are gained through the reduction of administrative tasks and expenses related to performance management and clinical staff supervision. In addition, we have documented an average ranging upwards of30% savings on study costs which can be realized through collaborative forecasting, resource allocation and flexible redeployment strategies.

Because KPS Life can serve as a single-source FSP solution, a Sponsors’ oversight burden is significantly reduced by having fewer vendors involved in a given project.

Our comprehensive FSP model relieves Sponsors from the expense and administrative tasks associated with hiring, onboarding, and managing project staff members. We can provide the specific expertise and support needed, as well as proactively reallocate resources as may be required.
With a +85% retention rate of the industry’s best talent, we provide Sponsors the support and project stability they need. In addition, the FSP model eliminates term limits for experienced, and knowledgeable contractors. Careful consideration is given to assigning the most suitable and appropriate staff for each project.

KPS Life’s FSP is completely flexible, and scalable to meet the unique needs of each Sponsor’s project. Whether a project needs to scale up, down, or be adjusted to meet objectives, we proactively monitor all facets of the process.

KPS Life is committed to seamlessly mitigating co-employment risks to ensure a robust and compliant partnership. With a focus on separating managerial control, providing comprehensive training, and conducting regular risk assessments, KPS Life proactively addresses potential co-employment challenges. By fostering transparent communication and prioritizing best practices, KPS Life creates a collaborative environment, reducing legal and regulatory risks while ensuring a professional and compliant working relationship.

Nearly two decades ago, KPS Life’s Functional Service Provider model changed the pharmaceutical clinical trial industry by ensuring quality outcomes, delivering significant cost savings, and lifting many administrative burdens for our Sponsor partners.
