US Clinical Researcher Competition

Have you been to a dream clinical research site? Do you know an excellent Study Coordinator that you would just love to work with again? Did you work on a project that was run so beautifully that all important milestones were delivered ahead of time and under budget? Perhaps you know a CRA who just excels at the role and has given you inspiration and valuable tips and training?

PharmaTimes, an industry specific news content service is hosting their first ever US Clinical Researcher Competition. There are 4 categories of awards including Study Coordinators, CRAs (less than 4 years experience and Senior CRAs), and Project Managers. Nominations and entries must be in by November 9, 2009 and winners will be announced in the spring of 2010. Here is a link to the contest website:

I've been monitoring for 3 years and there are a handful of truly memorable and outstanding professionals that I've had the opportunity to work with. I was delighted to hear of this new contest and I put in a couple of nominations as a nod to some of the fabulous folks I have come across. Here is the form to nominate in case you would like to do the same:
