Ongoing information updates

Benchmarks are continuously expanded with blinded user data at the completion of each study. Data is refreshed quarterly.

Actuals come from at least three companies and at least five data points no more than two years old.

Complete data availability

For price lists, where actual data is insufficient, proprietary algorithms substitute benchmark costs that are updated semi-annually—you never see a zero in a line item. Supporting information is provided.

Improved transparency and governance

Run budgets through CTFS GrantPlan for evidence-based knowledge advising what you should expect to see from CROs.

Inform and defend budget decisions better with the most up-to-date data available

CTFS GrantPlan delivers clinical trial budget management built on evidence, not estimates. Comparing costs against accurate industry benchmarks, it automatically makes data-driven adjustments, and provides visibility into historical final agreements.

This clinical trial budgeting tool helps sponsors and CROs create budgets that are both compliant and cost-effective. By grounding every cost element in benchmarked FMV data, the platform prevents overpayment, reduces budget inflation, and optimizes resource allocation—ensuring consistent savings across global trials.

Drawing on the industry’s most robust data sources, CTFS GrantPlan delivers realistic budgets that reflect actual market conditions and predictability. Every line item can be backed by verifiable benchmark data, giving sponsors a transparent and defensible position during negotiations with CROs, auditors and regulatory stakeholders.

By automating key budget-building tasks, CTFS GrantPlan accelerates study startup and site contract execution. Its cloud-based, multi-tenant architecture supports rapid deployment and global access, with built-in pricing benchmarks speeding accurate budget generation and streamlining processes across study phases.

CTFS GrantPlan empowers sponsors to model and forecast budgets with greater confidence. Gain evidence-based insight into what to expect from CRO bids, improving transparency, oversight and governance. Enable more strategic decision-making and better alignment across global finance and operations teams.

GrantPlan helps us create budgets that are reflective of all the different types of studies we do... And it’s not just for the clinical trials in the U.S. We do a lot of global studies and GrantPlan enables accurate and efficient budgeting for those as well. I just add the countries included in the study, and GrantPlan creates budgets for each country based on the variables we’ve entered.

Includes additional sections and line items accounting for FTE and per hour personnel fees.
Codes broken down by specialty and number of years’ experience using in-application calculations.
Can enter percent allocation and duration for each FTE and system calculates appropriate budget.
