July 2022
From the SCRS Team
The clinical research industry is experiencing a unique time of incredible collaboration opportunities. We witnessed that firsthand in the dialogue and takeaways from the inaugural Diversity Site Solutions Summit and Global Oncology Summit in May and the Australia-New Zealand Summit in July. Right now, we are all rallying together to make clinical research more efficient, more accessible, and more sustainable.
As inflation rates continue to soar, SCRS recently developed a Task Force committee to help sites address workforce staffing challenges and budgeting concerns. Part of that effort was an open letter to industry Sponsors and CROs. Read or listen to the discussion with some of our Task Force committee members to learn what SCRS is doing to help facilitate dialogue around these pressing issues. Be sure to join us for the next Sites NOW meeting to learn what you can do to help your site, or sites you work with, navigate these uncharted waters.
Working together to find solutions is now more important than ever, and this will be represented in this year’s SCRS Eagle Award – a recognition that has celebrated extraordinary site-industry relationships for more than a decade. Thank you to all the sites that cast your votes for Sponsors and CROs making great strides in ensuring exceptional collaboration, communication, flexibility and fairness. Final voting begins July 25 and recipients will be announced at the Global Site Solutions Summit October 7-9 in Hollywood, Florida. Sites, please be sure to submit yourselves for other SCRS awards including the Christine K. Pierre Site Impact Award, Excellence in Patient Centricity Award, Site Tank and SPRIA. The 2022 Global Site Solutions Summit will be a grand celebration as SCRS commemorates 10 years of advancing site success!
SCRS sincerely thanks our community for your continued commitment to work towards improved solutions and partnerships that impact all facets of clinical research. You are helping make a change that will have a ripple effect for years to come!
