This podcast episode from Trustful Clinical Budgeting dives into what really makes proposals work in clinical trials and why clarity, early alignment, and realistic assumptions matter more than ever.
This episode features Kaius Heinilä, BD Manager at Aurevia, who shares real world insights from over 15 years in clinical research, including perspectives on CRO partnerships and budgeting challenges.
In this episode, they unpack some of the challenges often faced in this industry:
• Where do you see the biggest disconnect between proposals and actual trial execution?
• Who should be responsible for closing that gap — sponsors, CROs, or both?
• And why does budgeting still go wrong, even with experienced teams?
They also talk about career growth — and what it really takes to move from operational roles into strategic and commercial leadership.
