Current State of Site-Sponsor-CRO Collaboration

Collaboration among sites, sponsors, and contract research organizations (CROs) is crucial for successful clinical trials, yet misunderstandings and inefficiencies keep getting in the way.

Join us to discuss communication issues, staffing and training concerns, and ways to improve efficiency in the clinical trial ecosystem. We will review findings from the 2024 State of Site-Sponsor-CRO Collaboration Survey Report and explore challenges, opportunities, and strategies to enhance collaboration and accelerate clinical research.

Whether you’re a site, sponsor, or CRO, this session will provide valuable insights to streamline your processes and improve collaboration.

Learning Objectives:

Discuss critical findings from Advarra’s 2024 report on site-sponsor-CRO collaboration
Examine common communication challenges and how to overcome them
Explore actionable steps to reduce operational inefficiencies in clinical trials

If you would like to obtain CE credits for a different credential, please check with your professional organization to determine if our webinars meet their continuing education requirements.

We are pleased to support the clinical research community with educational content. As of September 2025, we are making updates to improve both our educational programs and the process for providing certificates of participation. While these changes are underway, our automated certificate system is temporarily unavailable.

Certificates of participation may be requested by emailing webinar@advarra.com. We appreciate your patience during this transition and encourage you to check back for updates, as we look forward to offering an improved experience in the future.
