Clinical Researcher of the Year – The Americas 2025

The Clinical Researcher of the Year – The Americas awards are set to return for 2025, continuing to identify and celebrate exceptional talent among clinical researchers throughout the Americas. This competition has become a cornerstone for learning and development over the past 15 years, engaging clinical researchers from pharmaceutical companies, CROs, and investigator sites worldwide.

The 2024 competition introduced finalists to a new assessment criterion and offered a variety of entry points to accommodate a broad range of roles and experience levels, allowing new candidates to demonstrate their expertise to our panel of industry experts and compete for awards in their respective categories.

For 2025, we are excited to introduce a new category, Clinical Trial Administrator. This category is designed to assess the required skills and competencies to be an organised and competent Clinical Trial Administrator (CTA). Suitable for new CTAs with approximately 6 months experience, alongside experienced CTAs too. Assessment will be focussed on their range and depth of knowledge irrespective of years in the role.

The competition also features team categories such as the Global Project Team, Global Partnership Team, and Start-Up, alongside individual categories including Clinical Research Coordinator, and Clinical Trial and Project Manager.

All finalists will receive valuable mentoring and feedback on their performance, which is not only crucial for personal and professional development but also serves as an excellent way to validate training and highlight experience within the industry.

We invite entries and nominations from individuals and teams across the clinical research sector, encouraging a diverse range of participants to join this esteemed competition.
