Clinical Researcher — August 2026












No one is saying that clinical trial sites, sponsors, and contract research organizations (CROs) can’t symbolically gather ’round the campfire and get along with one another. In fact, they can and must, if the clinical research enterprise is to keep running on all cylinders. So it is that, in the August issue of Clinical Researcher, we consider the theme of “Better Together: Getting Sites, Sponsors, and CROs All on the Same Page” by way of a variety of contributors who address the nuances of these potentially rewarding and potentially fraught ties between research partners.
