PRA Health Sciences was a global contract research organization (CRO) headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina, providing outsourced clinical development services to pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. On July 1, 2021 ICON plc completed its acquisition of PRA Health Sciences in a cash-and-stock transaction valued at approximately $12 billion, forming one of the world's largest healthcare research organizations. Following the acquisition the PRA Health Sciences brand has been fully retired and operations were merged into ICON. The legacy prahs.com domain redirects to iconplc.com / icongroup.com and no PRA-branded developer programs, public APIs, SDKs, or technical documentation remain.
