“As the leader in clinical research workforce development, we want to showcase leading talent in clinical research operations and to shine the spotlight on organizations and professionals who represent excellence,” he told us.

A panel of industry experts will judge each team’s ability to “collaboratively and creatively” overcome challenges presented during the competition.

The judges will pay close attention to team’s ability to solve challenges “while exemplifying operational efficiency, innovation, teamwork, effectiveness, cost constraint, and communication,” Kremidas said.

The challenge will be conducted Thursday, April 11 during ACRP’s 2019 annual conference in Nashville, TN. The awards and recognition ceremony will be held on Friday, April 12.
