US Clinical Researcher Competition
What are the advantages of sponsorship and how can my company get involved?
The US Clinical Researcher of the Year Competition is the first initiative of its kind, to help raise the importance and stature of clinical research in the US, by recognising and celebrating outstanding individual and teams of researchers.
Unlike any other ‘recognition’ event, this is the only true cross-industry collaboration to assess researchers on competency based criteria. To that end, the competition creates a level playing field for all participants and the opportunity to establish benchmarks for excellence.
Sponsorship will align your company with this aim and will position your organisation at the forefront of championing research in the US and the outstanding professionals who form part of the US clinical fraternity.
The competition is organised through a high level Executive Steering Committee, comprised of senior clinical directors from Pharma Companies including, Sanofi Aventis, GSK, Shire, Astra Zeneca and Johnson and Johnson. The Executive Committee continues to expand as we identify other leaders wishing to put their shoulder to this mission.
All activities conducted through the auspices of the competition (call for entry, registration, announcements etc) or conducted through a dedicated website www.usclinicalresearcher.com which also delivers a Global Clinical News service.
Sponsorship is tiered at four levels to provide access points for all budgets:
