Strong collaboration between contract research organizations (CROs) and study sites is essential for reducing trial delays, improving data quality, and accelerating patient access to new therapies. This panel, designed for clinical research professionals in operations, monitoring, study startup, and site roles, explores how intentional collaboration between CROs and study sites can drive measurable improvements in operational efficiency and data quality. Panelists will share real-life case studies and practical examples that highlight strategies for streamlining study startup, reducing rework, and building trust. Attendees will gain forward-thinking insights and walk away with actionable tips, tools, and processes to strengthen site-CRO relationships and enhance trial success. Join us to explore how shifting from reactive problem-solving to proactive partnership can transform site-CRO relationships into high-impact alliances that advance research and patient care.
