Cutting Redundant Site Training by 25%
Clinical research sites are spending too much time on training requirements that are redundant, inefficient, and disconnected from real-world site operations. Excessive training slows study start-up, strains site teams, and pulls resources away from patient care and trial conduct. Cut25 addresses this head-on through strategic collaboration, data-driven benchmarking, and a unified industry commitment to doing better.
A Call to Right-Size Site Training
Excessive training requirements slow down study start-up, increase site burden, and create inefficiencies. Cut25 is an industry-wide initiative led by SCRS, calling on pharmaceutical companies, CROs, and technology partners to right-size site training with a clear, measurable goal: a 25% reduction in unnecessary training requirements.
Forty percent of sites spend up to 15 hours per month per trial on technology training alone, and a quarter of sites are spending up to 20 hours or more.
Turnover is running as high as 61%, and more than 90% of protocol deviations trace back to training gaps.
Program Goals
Forty percent of sites spend up to 15 hours per month per trial on technology training alone, and a quarter of sites are spending up to 20 hours or more.
Sites are spending 15 to 20 hours per month per trial just on technology training, turnover is running as high as 61%, and more than 90% of protocol deviations trace back to training gaps.
Cutting Training Burden: A Case Study
Four organizations share how they’ve meaningfully cut redundant site training burdens through role-based assignments, on-demand guidance, and intuitive design, all without compromising compliance.
Their shared takeaway: training should enable performance, not create a paper trail.
