How a LAB Cohort Works

SCRS Site Insight Labs bring sponsor, CRO, and solution-provider teams together with experienced clinical research site leaders to address specific operational needs. Through SCRS-led discussions, LABs provide private working sessions where your team can gain direct site feedback, recommended actions, and clear goals to advance site-facing programs within your organization.

2027 LAB Cohorts include:

Study Start-Up

Q1 | 2027

Building Winning Protocols

Accelerate: Remarkable Study Startup

A private, facilitated working session that puts your startup process in front of eight credentialed clinical research site leaders, selected and curated by SCRS.

THE LAB QUESTION

What happens between site selection and first patient screened — and what sponsor and CRO behaviors in that window most accelerate or delay site activation?

Topics Scoped by SCRS from Landscape Survey, Eagle Award, and Global Impact Partner satisfaction data

Startup is the most controllable variable in your timeline

Delays between site selection and first patient screened are rarely caused by sites alone. They are caused by decisions upstream — and most of those decisions belong to sponsors and CROs.

Most organizations know startup is broken. Few have a structured way to hear from sites exactly which of their own decisions are making it worse.

WHERE ACTIVATION STALLS

Information gaps — feasibility packages that leave sites guessing at what the protocol will actually demand.

Budget and contract friction — negotiation cycles that add weeks before a single patient is screened.

System access failures — credentials, training, and portal access that arrive after the site is ready to work.

Communication breakdowns — unclear ownership between sponsor, CRO, and site during the handoff window.

Data Driven Opportunity

Leverage insights from SCRS Eagle Award into active Insights LAB learning. Choose from three impact-making sessions: Study Start-Up, Building Winning Protocols, AI Between Clinical Stakeholders.

A Path Forward

Gain structured site perspective on feasibility, communication, budgeting, contract practices and system details through a curated Insights LAB panel of experts.

LAB PIPELINE

Labs launch one at a time

Topics are identified and validated by SCRS from Landscape Survey data, Eagle Award category performance, and GIP satisfaction signals. Each topic is scoped to a specific, actionable sub-question before the Lab opens. The sequence is a recommendation, not a commitment.

Community Session

60 MIN | ALL ENROLLED PARTNERS

SCRS reviews the data behind the Lab, introduces the site faculty, and frames the topic. Partners are coached on the depth that produces useful answers — process-level questions, not high-level topic commentary.

Lab Working Session

90 MIN | PRIVATE TO YOUR TEAM

A panel of experienced site leaders presents structured, curriculum-based perspective. SCRS and the site panel drive the content; your five pre-submitted questions take the panel into your specifics.

Designing Outcomes

90 MIN | PRIVATE TO YOUR TEAM

Insight becomes action. SCRS faculty work with your team to identify priority actions, surface internal barriers, draft outcome goals, and prepare for stakeholder alignment.

Accountability Call

Scheduled at the close of the cycle. SCRS reviews what your team has acted on, what barriers remain, and what support is still needed — and whether the findings should become a published case study, toolkit, webinar, or future collaboration.

Questions partners ask first:

SCRS does. Cohorts are drawn from a standing pool of credentialed SCRS member sites, roughly eight per private working session. Different sites are assigned to each partner’s cohort, which adds a structural layer of confidentiality on top of session privacy.

Meetings 2 and 3 are fully private to your organization. Only the opening community session is shared across enrolled partners, and it contains no partner-specific discussion.

Five organization-specific priority questions, submitted before the working session. SCRS coaches partners at the opening session on the level of specificity that produces useful answers — process-level, not general topic commentary.

Yes, as an option and subject to SCRS review and approval. Formats include SCRS articles, case studies, toolkits, Summit sessions, webinars, SCRS Talks podcast episodes, and co-developed thought leadership summaries.

The Labs are additive. Global Impact Partnership provides year-round access, visibility, and influence; a Lab is a focused, applied engagement on one operational question with a deliverable attached. Custom SAGs remain available for organizations that want to set the topic themselves.
