Reports & Special Projects
SARA researches and compiles scientific and medical data, information, and literature for its clients. The compiled information can then be analyzed and an expert or summary report written. The report can be issued in many different forms from a memo to monograph format.
See examples of Technical and Informational Reports.
Some of the uses of these reports are:
• Information for the lay public and advisory groups
• Support of criminal and civil legal proceedings
• Support of regulatory submission (e.g., FDA)
• Technical Report to summarize a field of information for scientists
• “White Paper” for “in-house” use and possible future external distribution
Special Projects, performed by SARA, encompass a vast array of investigative and scientific expertise and services to help SARA’s clients get the information that they need to make decisions and to scientifically support their claims. SARA may be working independently or with a client’s “in-house” or other experts. SARA is experienced with collaborating with experts from many diverse fields.
