SCOPE’s 2025 Participant Engagement Award


Deadline for Submissions is November 15, 2024



CREATIVITY AND ENGAGEMENT IN PATIENT RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION COMMUNICATIONS

Participant Engagement Award

WHAT IS IT?

Now in its 9th year, the Participant Engagement Award (PEA) recognizes innovation and change in how the industry communicates with participants in the fields of recruitment and retention in clinical trials.  PEA embodies the values and personal accomplishments of Jerry Matczak, who sadly passed away soon after receiving the inaugural 2017 award. We dedicate this award to Jerry in the hopes that it will serve as a reminder of his ideals and accomplishments. SCOPE’s 2025 Participant Engagement Award program is brought to you by Cambridge Healthtech Institute (CHI)’s SCOPE.

 

HOW DOES IT WORK?

We welcome submissions from all facets of the industry, including, but not limited to Sites, CRO’s, e-Patient Advisors, Agencies, Start-Ups, and Sponsors and invite you to submit your best work in the Patient Recruitment and Retention communications field.

  • Each submission will be reviewed and rated for the ability to improve access, awareness, and participation in clinical trials, creativity, innovation, regulatory and legal compliance, and the ability to improve diversity, equity, and inclusion. Awards will be given for 1st through 3rd place with special recognition for all presenters.
  • Finalists will be invited to submit a 3-minute video showcasing their work which will be promoted prior to SCOPE.
  • Discussion and judging will occur LIVE in-person at SCOPE during the opening plenary session taking place February 3-6, 2025 in Orlando, Florida. This exciting competition will bring awareness to you and your company for excellent and engaging work.

HOW TO WIN?

Your submission must truly be designed to engage potential, current, or alumni study participants and/or their influencers and show marked improvements in the status quo. Helpful questions to address in your submission:

  • How did you engage clinical trial participation in a novel and innovative way?
  • How did this benefit the clinical trial ecosystem?
  • How did you measure the success of your efforts?
  • How did you improve diversity, equity, and inclusion?
    Judges are looking for innovation, creativity, and messaging while meeting industry standards and compliance rules.

    Deadline for Submissions is November 15, 2024
