High rates of turnover among clinical site investigators and a shrinking pool of experienced researchers together threaten to harm the efficiency and quality of clinical trials. CTTI has responded to these challenges with actionable, evidence-based recommendations for strengthening and growing the site investigator community.

The recommendations—which are based on stakeholder input, survey and interview results, and an extensive analysis of data from the FDA’s publicly available Bioresearch Monitoring Information System (BMIS) database—will be discussed during a CTTI Webinar on Thurs., Oct. 19, at noon ET. Addressing multiple facets of the clinical trials process from the perspectives of investigators and support staff, trial sponsors, clinical research organizations, and health systems, the recommendations address four major themes:

• Developing site-based research infrastructure and staff
• Optimizing trial execution and conduct
• Improving site budget and contract negotiations
• Identifying additional trial opportunities for interested investigators
