ORD required highly skilled professionals to support a range of national clinical trials and health research initiatives. Many roles were short term or project-specific, making recruitment complex. VA needed help filling critical positions across multiple research offices and supporting tasks such as Institutional Review Board (IRB) coordination, data analysis and procedural documentation.
Aptive delivered process optimization, workforce structuring and staffing efficiency solutions that enabled VA to launch and scale studies without delay. Our team of clinical, operational and data science experts provided turnkey support for ORD’s evolving research needs.
Aptive staffed more than a dozen research initiatives within a four-week window, quickly sourcing and credentialing specialized personnel. This included statisticians, research coordinators and genetic epidemiologists. Onboarding was streamlined to minimize disruptions and ensure project continuity.
To strengthen ORD’s enterprise research capability, Aptive supported data analytics, meeting facilitation and research documentation. Our team helped prepare study protocols, facilitated committee sessions and supported field offices with IRB submissions and compliance tracking.
Aptive deployed technical experts to assist with geographic information systems, biomarker analysis and data visualization. These efforts supported VA researchers publishing in peer-reviewed journals and advancing health care solutions for Veterans.
To ensure accountability, Aptive developed evaluation tools to measure team performance and client satisfaction. We delivered consistent project updates and maintained close coordination with site leads to ensure timelines, deliverables and staffing remained on track.
Aptive helped VA reduce time-to-hire for research staff to just 20 business days, supporting fast-paced project launches without sacrificing quality. Our staffing strategy resulted in near-zero turnover due to careful candidate selection and alignment with project scope and culture.
Aptive filled more than 12 projects across the country, helping VA scale research efforts and remain responsive to emerging priorities. Our operational support allowed ORD to shift focus from administrative logistics to clinical outcomes.
