Join us in our mission to cure cancer through clinical research industry collaboration
The SCRS Oncology Program was conceived by SCRS Founder, Christine K. Pierre. By strengthening the relationships between oncology clinical research sites, pharmaceutical companies, and patients, we can work together to improve cancer research and care.
The Oncology Program provides resources to enhance efficiency in working with sponsors/CROs and vendors, expanding patient access to cancer clinical trials.
Here's how we work
Industry Alliances: Our board of clinical research sites, CROs, sponsors, and solution providers regularly addresses site needs to further our mission.
Oncology Site Solutions Summit: An annual in-person event for industry partners to discuss site sustainability and patient access, offering valuable content and networking opportunities.
Oncology Education Resources: SCRS supports oncology research professionals in improving patient access to cancer trials, promoting diversity, and offering virtual training for in-demand skills.
Oncology Assessment/Engagement: By unifying the voice of oncology clinical research sites, SCRS aims to set standards for measuring capability and sustainability of partnerships with sponsors/CROs.
