About SCRS

Strengthening the Global Site Voice

Our Mission

Unify the voice of the global clinical research site community for greater site sustainability.

The Society for Clinical Research Sites (SCRS) is the leading voice among clinical research site advocacy organizations, dedicated to unifying the voice of the global clinical research site community. Representing more than 12,000+ site members globally, SCRS facilitates research site community leadership with conversations dedicated to site-focused advocacy, education, mentorship and connection. 

SCRS was founded by Christine Pierre in 2012 on a core belief that sites have long been the silent partner in the research enterprise. Sites are at the center of every clinical trial, yet they often face growing pressure, from changing regulations, staffing challenges, tight timelines, and decisions made without site input. SCRS exists to give sites the support, resources, and unified voice they’ve long needed through sponsor, CRO, and site collaboration.

Four Pillars. One Mission.

SCRS supports the sustainability of clinical research sites by advocating for site perspectives, supporting professional development, and strengthening collaboration across the clinical research ecosystem.

Advocate

As an advocacy organization for clinical research sites, we represent the site perspective in conversations with regulators, sponsors, CROs, and industry leaders—ensuring clinical research sites have a strong, unified voice.

Educate

From Good Clinical Practice training to expert‑led webinars and site‑focused insights, we help clinical research teams stay informed, compliant, and ready for the changing clinical trial landscape.

Mentor

Through our site member community, workshops, and events, sites can connect, learn, and grow together—whether new to research or long established.

Connect

SCRS opens the door to unique collaboration opportunities with leading sponsors, CROs, and pharmaceutical organizations for more successful clinical trials.
