Clinical Research Budget & Contract Strategist | Site Infrastructure & Startup Efficiency Advocate

LaTisha R. Weaver is a Clinical Research Budget and Contract Strategist and consultant recognized for her site-centered approach to trial startup efficiency and financial transparency. With more than eight years of specialized experience, she has supported independent research sites, academic medical centers, and site networks in strengthening the financial and operational foundations required for successful study execution.

Through LDM Clinical Research Source, LaTisha partners with research organizations to navigate the complexities of clinical trial budgets, Medicare Coverage Analysis, and sponsor/CRO negotiations. Her work is grounded in a clear philosophy: sites perform best when they retain full operational autonomy while being equipped with the right financial strategy and infrastructure.

Positioned at the intersection of startup efficiency and trial accessibility, LaTisha collaborates across the research ecosystem to help sites become study-ready, financially sound, and structurally visible to sponsors. Rather than managing site operations, she provides targeted strategic support that enables sites to sustain themselves, scale responsibly, and enter sponsor conversations with greater leverage and clarity.

LaTisha is deeply committed to advancing health equity by strengthening the readiness of sites serving underrepresented communities. She believes that improving clinical trial access begins with ensuring sites have the financial insight, contractual protection, and infrastructure support necessary to participate competitively in today’s research landscape.
