Since 2009, the annual SCRS Eagle Award has recognized the sponsor and CRO organizations that are dedicated to creating positive relationships with sites, as voted on by the sites. Winners are judged according to their outstanding leadership, professionalism, integrity, operational excellence and dedication to advancing the clinical research profession through a strong site partnership.

This year's winners were chosen from a record number of nominations from SCRS members and finalist were selected by sites from around the globe.

"The winners of the 2017 Eagle Award were determined exclusively by votes cast by sites," stated SCRS president Christine Pierre. "The Eagle Award reflects an eagerness to honor and appreciate the sponsor and CRO who have demonstrated outstanding working relationships with sites.
