Purpose
Researchers at the Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development (Tufts CSDD) is launching a new empirical research initiative focused on the global investigative site landscape. Many new clinical trial execution models have been introduced during the past decade including site staff embedded within clinical care settings, remote sites, retail pharmacies, urgent care facilities, and mobile units going directly into local communities. Plus, many part-time clinical trial sites have left or quit clinical research while Site Management Organizations and Site Networks have raised private equity and scaled. This project aims to provide unique insights that inform how organizations interact with clinical trial sites and various models. It also helps understand the strategic and structural growth of new trial sites and partnerships in bringing trials directly to local communities, thus impacting the global clinical trial site landscape.

Your participation in this online survey is completely voluntary. You have the right to choose not to participate. You can also choose to start your participation, skip a question, or stop at any time by closing your browser. Data collected up until that point may be used for this research or future research. The survey takes approximately 20-25 minutes to complete.

Benefits and Compensation
In appreciation for your participation, you will have the option to enter a raffle to receive a $50 Visa gift card.

The data collected in this survey poses minimal to no risk to you, as answers cannot be traced to any single individual. The individuals conducting or monitoring this research may be permitted to access and inspect the raw anonymous data gathered. This includes the Tufts CSDD researchers involved in this study. The anonymous data gathered may be used for future Tufts CSDD research studies without your additional informed consent. The data will be retained for this study for a period of 3 years after study closure but may be used for other Tufts CSDD studies for a period of 2 years thereafter. After that time, the data will be destroyed using standard procedures.
