September 22, 2021 -- Velocity Clinical Research has acquired two companies that operate research trial networks: VitaLink Research and the National Research Institute (NRI). Velocity Clinical did not disclose the amount it paid for the firms.
Velocity said the combination of VitaLink and NRI will boost the company's therapeutic reach and recruiting power, with the goal of reaching more minority populations to serve as volunteers for clinical trials. Velocity will also provide additive business development effort and streamlined service delivery to the acquired companies.
Management from both companies will occupy leadership roles within Velocity. These include Steve Clemons, CEO of VitaLink, who becomes Velocity's new senior vice president of client delivery, and Samira Moran, CEO of NRI, who becomes Velocity's new senior vice president of specialist care delivery.
