International Clinical Trials Day – May 20, 2025
COOKIES FOR COORDINATORS PHOTO CONTEST
National Clinical Trials Day is the perfect occasion to celebrate the dedicated work of Clinical Research Coordinators (CRCs), whose unwavering commitment plays a crucial role in advancing medical research and improving the health of our communities. These professionals are at the heart of clinical trials, ensuring the smooth operation of studies, safeguarding patient safety, and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards. Their ability to balance intricate logistics, detailed record-keeping, and direct patient care makes them invaluable members of the research team. On this special day, we recognize their contributions to scientific discovery, patient well-being, and the progress of new treatments that ultimately improve lives worldwide.
To further honor the hard work of CRCs, a special competition, Cookies for Coordinators, invites clinical research teams to submit ONE photo that captures the essence of their daily work. This fun and creative contest encourages teams to showcase their collaborative spirit, dedication, and the moments that make clinical research so impactful. The winning team will receive a sweet treat in appreciation, highlighting the importance of recognizing the hard work and passion behind every clinical trial. Cookies for Coordinators is a heartfelt way to celebrate the individuals who make research possible and to spread some joy on National Clinical Trials Day!
Send your photos no later than 5pm on May 12, 2025 by email to ithrivadmin@uvahealth.org to enter. All clinical research teams at iTHRIV participating institutions are eligible to enter (Carilion Clinic, UVA, Virginia Tech).
