Quintiles today announced that the company was awarded the Society for Clinical Research Sites’ (SCRS) 2014 Clinical Research Organization (CRO) Eagle Award. The award, which recognizes outstanding leadership, professionalism, integrity, passion and dedication, was presented during the annual SCRS Site Solutions Summit.
"It is such an honor to be recognized again and receive this award for the second year in a row,” said Lindy Jones, senior vice president, Integrated Site Services, Quintiles. “Our ambition of transforming clinical development and accelerating pipelines to achieve better patient outcomes is only possible through the dedication and hard work of our investigators and sites. I would like to thank the investigators who voted for us. We will continue to look at how we can better partner together.”
“We are delighted to present the Eagle Award to Quintiles,” said SCRS President Christine Pierre. The award reflects the opinions of almost 2,000 investigative sites across the globe. Quintiles’ integrity in consistently demonstrating their keen interest in partnering with sites landed them with this prestigious recognition.”
Prior to the Site Solutions Summit, SCRS members, which are investigative sites, were invited to nominate the sponsor and CRO they believe best demonstrates partnership commitment. The other criteria include: availability of qualified staff to support the sites, demonstration of collaboration, protocol design and execution, financial consideration, and partnering with sites for future work. The finalists were those sponsors and CROs that ranked in the 75th percentile or greater of nominations received. Once the finalists were identified, voting was open to all sites globally.
