As clinical research industry advancements increasingly include the incorporation of new technologies, it is critical that the global site community commit to continued education so they are a part of the digital evolution.
The SCRS Digital Innovation Initiative (DII) empowers clinical research sites by addressing the demand for education and training on decentralized clinical trials (DCTs) and other emerging clinical technologies.
This critical initiative has been designed to advise, educate and connect clinical research industry stakeholders on current and upcoming technology advancements and their impact on site sustainability.
Goals
• Informing sites and industry about the evolving site landscape
• Enhancing learning opportunities for sites surrounding current and future technologies
Cut 25
Excessive training requirements slow down study start-up, increase site burden, and create inefficiencies. Through strategic collaboration, data-driven decision-making, and industry commitment, Cut >25 drives meaningful reductions in training time without compromising compliance or quality.
SCRS is calling on pharmaceutical companies, CROs, and technology partners to right-size site training by eliminating unnecessary, redundant, and inefficient training requirements. This initiative aims to improve operational efficiency while maintaining high-quality education for clinical research professionals.
Best Practices & Recommendations for Sites
