Grants Manager
Site budgets break down when planning and negotiation live across disconnected spreadsheets, emails, and systems. Timelines slip, decision-making falters, and sites carry the burden.
Medidata Grants Manager brings the investigator grant lifecycle into one workflow, so you can build accurate budgets, negotiate with clarity, and maintain financial control as studies scale.

FAQ
Does Medidata Grants Manager support scenario planning for budgets?
Yes. The platform features Medidata Financial Scenario Planning, which allows sponsors to model different scenarios and forecast outcomes using advanced analytics. Users can build study budgets with benchmarks at every level—from therapeutic area and phase to specific geographies—to measure financial impact before the trial begins.
How does the solution determine fair market value (FMV)?
Medidata Grants Manager uses "Dynamic FMV," which leverages AI to forecast costs by accounting for dynamic variables like inflation and exchange rates. Unlike traditional methods that rely solely on historical data, it combines committed, anticipated, and projected data to provide a more accurate, forward-looking view of costs.
Can the system streamline the site negotiation process?
Yes. Medidata Grants Manager Contracting automates site negotiations by generating budget templates directly from the planning module. It features automated workflows, interactive dashboards, and comprehensive audit tracking to speed up negotiations and ensure transparency between sponsors, CROs, and sites.
Does the platform calculate site and patient burden?
Yes. As you build your budget, the system automatically calculates and displays Study Complexity and Site & Patient Burden scores within the dashboard. This helps teams understand the operational impact of the study design on sites and patients during the budgeting process.
Does Medidata offer training for its clients and partners?
