The Challenge & Work Ahead

Clinical research success requires interdependent leadership and repeatable collaboration practices between organizations. However, the nature of work within clinical research has evolved, becoming more complex and creating operational gaps that disproportionately impact site teams. These factors create undue burden, increased costs, and lost productivity. Therefore, the Society for Clinical Research Sites (SCRS) Global Impact Partner (GIP) Community will explore best practices and resources to highlight the competitive advantage that great collaboration has on study success.

Collaborate Forward explores the clinical research process to understand best practices, define knowledge principles, and resource opportunities to showcase and demonstrate great clinical collaboration.

Program Objectives

  1. Elevate the organizational and project advantages of collaboration.
  2. Develop, showcase and resource guiding principles of clinical collaboration (Study Culture, People, Systems, Process).
  3. Research and explore interdependent collaboration within clinical research, highlighting site experiences in several phases of study startup (planning/feasibility, contracts & budgets and participant recruitment).
  4. Produce a Collaborate Forward Playbook, showcasing the lessons learned through interview and case study.

SCRS Global Impact Partners have exclusive access to the Collaborate Forward Working Group.
