Re: Clinical Study IDC Rates Elaine Brock 28 Aug 1996 07:47 EST

You may post the U Michigan info. Our rate has stayed at 15%. Noone has
mentioned the fact that discrepancies across the country in health care costs
may mean that it is more expensive to conduct trials in some locations
regardless of the indirect. Health care is relatively expensive in Michigan so
that even at 15% tdc of indirect we find it hard to match some of the per
patient costs some other institutions find acceptable. To increase the
indirect only to be forced to discount the direct to stay competitive would be
counterproductive. The idc issue for clincial trials is more complex than
joining together to hold the line to a particular number.
