SCRS Announces Site Scholarships Sponsored by Merge, an IBM Company
Ellicott City, MD, October 31, 2016 – SCRS announces Site Scholarships sponsored by Merge, an IBM Company as part of their Site Engagement Partnership with SCRS. These site scholarships will be awarded to site partners identified by Merge that are not already members of SCRS.
“Certain vendors in the clinical research space are most affected by site success and site sustainability and they have been the first to recognize the importance of supporting sites,” said Christine Pierre, President of SCRS. “The success of Merge is closely tied to the success of sites, and they have taken a leadership role in partnering with sites.”
“The continued success of our company and our CTMS for Investigators solution is tied to the growth and development of research sites. Our goal is to help sites become more efficient, and successful,” said Matt Smith, Director of the Research Site Market at Merge. “We’re proud to join SCRS in support of the Site Scholarships program that offers leading-edge training and resources that help sites become more informed, skilled and sustainable.”
