Kirkland, WA - April 8, 2002 - Radiant Research Inc., the country's largest Site Management Organization (SMO) today formally announced a new division, Radiant Media. This new division will offer the biopharmaceutical industry comprehensive participant recruitment services for all investigative research sites conducting a given clinical trial.

Radiant Media will provide "one-stop" participant recruitment services for clinical trials by offering Radiant's existing Call Center, Project Management, Public Relations, Media Development and Media Placement services in one integrated package.

With the addition of Radiant Media, Radiant sets itself apart as the only participant recruitment company that also owns and operates investigative sites. "We have gained an enormous amount of participant recruitment experience from conducting over 3,000 studies across sixteen therapeutic areas in the last three years," said Jeff Jensen, Director of Recruitment Services for Radiant Media. "Participant recruitment has been central to our company's success as an SMO. We're uniquely qualified to manage our clients' entire participant recruitment programs because we're experts in participant recruitment as well as investigative site operations."

"As a company that owns and operates some of the largest research sites in the country, we've learned the important difference between being advertising experts and participant recruitment experts," added Mike Lester, President and CEO of Radiant Research. "Many of our competitors do not have the infrastructure to efficiently and rapidly enroll clinical trials utilizing the type of integrated participant recruitment processes that we have in place."
