Hundreds of senior industry professionals gathered at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel on April 17, 2016 for a gala dinner celebrating the achievements of the top clinical researchers in the Americas today.

The annual Clinical Researcher of the Year – The Americas competition, organised by PharmaTimes Media in association with ACRP, is designed and judged by an independent steering committee of high-level industry leaders, benchmarking entrants’ skills against those of their peers in a learning environment. With categories for clinical researchers and teams at all stages of their career, the competition provides an invaluable learning and development opportunity for entrants.

Comprising a multiple choice questionnaire, an essay challenge, a practical, educational Finals Day and the evening gala dinner awards presentation ceremony, the Clinical Researcher of the Year – The Americas recognises and rewards the top clinical researchers in the Americas.

Gill Chalk, head of events at PharmaTimes, commented: “We were delighted to recognise the achievements of the finalists in a celebration of excellence at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. Congratulations to all the winners – the standard of entries has remained very high and competing in the finals is a fantastic achievement. The Clinical Researcher of the Year – The Americas competition is growing from strength to strength – we would like to thank our sponsors for all their input, support and commitment to the development of the competition. We look forward to announcing key dates for the 2017 competition and developing our partnership with the ACRP as we take the competition to Seattle for 2017!”
