Society for Clinical Research Sites (SCRS)

The Society for Clinical Research Sites (SCRS) is the leading advocacy organization dedicated to unifying the voice of the global clinical research site community. Representing more than 12,000 sites in 75+ countries, SCRS facilitates industry collaborations and conversations focused on site advocacy, education, mentorship, and connection.

Christine Pierre founded SCRS in 2012 in response to the growing need for an organization to represent the voice of research sites within the clinical research enterprise. She created SCRS and the Site Solutions Summits to provide sites with resources, mentorship, and education opportunities through a member-based organization dedicated to giving sites both a voice and community.

Mission:
Unify the voice of the global clinical research site community for greater site sustainability.

SCRS’ Guiding Ethical Principles:
SCRS Mission is to foster the sustainability of clinical research sites, for the benefit of sites and other industry stakeholders. While we gratefully accept funds provided by organizations to support SCRS’ mission, Their projects and results are transparent and independent of funding sources.

• All awards and recognition are determined by confidential votes and are not influenced by the donation of funds to SCRS.
• They undertake research projects only if we believe it will further Their mission.
• They determine the means of executing any research project or study, rather than following the directives of any outside funding source.
• They publish the outcomes of Their research to Their members and other interested parties, regardless of whether the outcomes are perceived as favorable to any of our contributors.
