The reason many pharmaceutical companies go to Eastern Europe and India to conduct trials isn't to do it on the cheap. Its to find patients and trained clinicians. This is one area where government intervention would be useful. Research networks and databases aren't cost effective. But they can connect patients with researchers. It is a good place for government agencies to step in and help.
