ACRP announced that 19 state and local governments across the United States have issued official proclamations recognizing May 20 as Clinical Trials Day, marking the first coordinated national effort of its kind led by the clinical research community.
As clinical research evolves to address more holistic needs of individuals, the implications of new collaborations and ways of thinking—and measuring—stretch beyond the traditional definitions of development. We need to think bigger and work together in new ways.
Clinical Trials Day recognizes the legacy of evidence-based medicine and the modern workforce that delivers it, increasingly with help from research technology that can reduce site burden, improve data quality, and speed enrollment.
Clinical Trials Day is an opportunity to recognize the progress of clinical research—but even more so, it is a moment to honor the people and the purpose that continue to move that research forward.
On Clinical Trials Day, we recognize the people who make all this possible. The professionals who dedicate their careers to clinical research, the patients and families who place their trust in it, and the partners who work together to advance new therapies.
