What is the PACE Delivery Partner Network, how do I access it and do I have to use it?

PACE intends to bring together a network of delivery partners to enable all aspects of outsourced project work (both lab-based and consultancy, including e.g. regulatory and safety) across the PACE-funded project portfolio. PACE recognises that not all applicants will have the internal resources and pre-existing relationships required for end-to-end project delivery and, for that reason, wants to be able to facilitate connections and collaborations. Recipients of PACE Project Awards will retain the right to choose whom they work with to deliver their project, including where the Recipient has established relationships with their own delivery partners –  PACE R&D Advisors will work closely with Recipients of funding to identify where access to a PACE delivery partner is in the best interests of the project.
