Signature Series Session
Meaningful change can come from the top down and the ground up—but in clinical research, valuable perspectives from seasoned professionals in the field have been silent for too long. This session builds on an NIH survey that was first examined at ACRP 2024 and then expanded upon in a pioneering national survey by ACRP and Continuum Clinical (launching in late November) with the goal of understanding how to improve clinical trials from those who implement and manage trials.
Through the lens of transformation, this survey goes beyond the barriers that are typically captured to explore real-world actionable insights for clinical trial implementation, our current state, where do we want to go from here, and the changes needed to reach an ideal future state.
Come hear wisdom gathered from clinical research professionals just like yourself--and share your voice in this lively discussion! Our speakers will share the survey insights and propose practical, solutions-based approaches to overcome the reported barriers. All ACRP 2025 registrants will receive exclusive access to a pre-read document before the conference to help set the stage for the discussion in New Orleans.
Join us for this engaging session to discover actionable solutions to the issues that hinder successful clinical trials. Your colleagues (and hopefully, you!) have spoken, so don't miss out!
As the leading advocate for clinical research professionals, this effort builds upon ACRP’s mission to promote excellence in clinical research and highlight our members' contributions to the clinical research and drug development sectors.
