Streamlining and Standardizing Training

The Council unanimously decided to prioritize reducing redundant, overly complex training requirements. Members collaborate to eliminate non-protocol training burdens and establish standardized best practices across the industry.

Optimizing Study Design Upfront

The council works to establish mechanisms for biopharma sponsors to gather and integrate meaningful site-level feedback early in protocol development. This effort makes clinical trials more feasible and efficient.

Informing Better Site Selection

Members explore ways to improve the site selection methodology. They aim to transform it into the bidirectional process that empowers sites and sponsors to make better clinical trial decisions. 

Strengthening Industrywide Communication

A foundational goal of the group is to increase visibility and close the communication gaps across the clinical trial ecosystem of sponsors, CROs, and sites.
