New Series Drop: Exploring AMCs in Clinical Research



Darshan Kulkarni and Edye Edens are kicking off a brand-new video series diving into the unique world of academic medical centers (AMCs) in clinical research.

While KLF has long worked with sponsors, CROs, and independent sites, AMCs bring their own challenges: complex operations, unique funding models, layers of compliance, and requirements like investigator-initiated trials that don’t exist elsewhere. As Edye—drawing from 10 years inside a major AMC—explains, these environments operate at a different pace and scale, and often face resource strains even as they generate critical innovation and patient impact.

Darshan highlights how AMCs are often left out of mainstream site or sponsor conversations, despite managing volumes of research that pressure-test the entire system. Their experiences can offer invaluable lessons for industry players who want to understand how research actually succeeds—or fails—at scale.

This series will explore:
 ✅ How AMC operations differ from other sites
 ✅ Why compliance, contracts, and budgeting look different in academia
 ✅ What industry can learn from high-volume academic centers
 ✅ The regulatory and funding pressures shaping AMC research today

We haven’t picked a name yet—so we’d love your input! Drop your ideas in the comments, and stay tuned as Edye leads us through this deep dive.
