Turn site feedback into actionable operational insight.
SCRS Site Advocacy Groups help sponsors, CROs, and solution providers engage experienced research sites in structured dialogue around the issues that matter most to study success — from feasibility and startup to patient recruitment, technology, and site burden. Through a customized Site Advocacy Group, your organization can gather real-world site perspectives, identify friction points, and co-create practical solutions that strengthen trial delivery and site relationships.
What is a Site Advocacy Group?
A Site Advocacy Group is a curated panel of experienced, diverse clinical research site professionals convened by SCRS on behalf of a host organization. Site Advocacy Group members provide structured feedback through facilitated discussions and surveys designed to generate meaningful, actionable insight. This model enables organizations to hear directly from sites, validate assumptions, and better align operational strategy with site reality.
Why organizations launch a Site Advocacy Group:
- Improve protocol feasibility and operational readiness
- Better understand and reduce site burden
- Strengthen patient recruitment and retention strategies
- Inform decentralized or hybrid trial approaches
- Build stronger site-sponsor relationships globally
This is not a one-off advisory call. This model is designed to support ongoing dialogue, feedback capture, and follow-through over time.

The Site Advocacy Group Process
1. ALIGN
SCRS and the host organization meet before launch to define the purpose, title, goals, success criteria, participant profile, and timeline.
2. RECRUIT
SCRS identifies and recruits the right site voices, manages contracts, and supports participant selection with the host organization.
3. FACILITATE
Meetings are conducted around a structured agenda focused on challenge identification, problem-solving, and action planning.
4. REPORT
SCRS shares timely summaries, key insights, and recommendations after each session and delivers a final report at the conclusion of the engagement.
5. CLOSE THE LOOP
The strongest Site Advocacy Groups include visible follow-through — showing participants how their feedback influenced decisions, changes, or next steps.
