  • Provides an objective third-party reference for contract negotiations with KOLs, medical specialists, and other healthcare stakeholders
  • Captures the full range of rates across therapeutic specialties, geographic regions, tiers of KOL experience, and various engagement types
  • Reinforces the life sciences industry’s commitment to transparency and regulatory compliance

Confidentiality Statement

Cutting Edge Information adheres to rigorous confidentiality standards. All information shared via our FMV survey is strictly confidential. No information will ever be divulged to another party. No individuals, individual responses, or company names will ever be identified. Any data provided will be used solely for the purposes of CEI’s FMV database, which contains summary results of our team’s analysis — not individual rates.

About FMVConnect

The FMV rates submitted via our surveys serve as the foundation for FMVConnect: the most expansive and defensible market-based rate data in the world. Our rates are more defensible than salary-based rates because they are built directly from industry rates paid to HCPs rather than proxy metrics — established using a globally consistent methodology, with data collected annually from life sciences companies worldwide.
