The “Clinical Research Team of the Year” award honors the achievements of a team that has made the most difference to a pharmaceutical or biotech company's research program and that has made great strides on its core project through exemplary teamwork. The judges looked for strong performance against short-term goals, including patient recruitment and retention and data collection targets, and its impact on achieving longer-term objectives of advancing drug development.

In addition to achieving goals of the sponsor, the team is responsible for the development of novel working practices and the enhancement of international processes at Premier Research.  Team interactions improved research standards in major cancer centers responsible for a substantial number of oncology drugs being proposed to market making a significant impact on the future of clinical data and compliance with ICH/GCP.
