The term "Contract Research Organization" is used in this article in the wide sense in which projects and services can be in any scientific or technological field. This was the common usage during the period covered by the article.[5] More recently Contract Research Organization has come to be used in a narrower sense, restricted to companies that serve the medical and pharmaceutical sector. Several roughly equivaivalent terms such as "Innovation (or Intermediate) Research and Technology Organization" (IRTO) are now often used for the wider sense of CRO. See for example AIRTO (the successor organization to AICRO).
