Okay, let’s tackle this. So Fran has a strong background in clinical research, with skills like clinical trials, irb, regulatory submissions, and more. She’s in Lexington, MA, which is a hub for biotech and pharma. According to national averages, clinical research professionals with her experience and skills can charge around $100-$150 per hour. However, considering her expertise and location, I’ll estimate her rate to be around $125 per hour, which is slightly below the average but still competitive for someone with her qualifications.
