A contract research organization (CRO) is an organization that provides support to the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device industries in the form of research services outsourced on a contract basis.n increasing number of clinical trials are run by CROs; the amount spent on CRO-run research increased from $1.6 billion in 1994 to $7.6 billion in 2004. Over the same time period, the share of clinical trials run at academic medical centers dropped from 63% to 26%. As one author put it:
Respondents with less than five years' experience take home $53K on average. In contrast, those who have been around for five to 10 years earn a noticeably higher average of $64K. Contract Specialists with one to two decades of relevant experience report an average salary of approximately $66K. In the end, the overall pattern seems to be that more experience generally corresponds to higher pay; a Contract Specialist with more than 20 years of experience can earn $77K on average.
