Site Excellence Awards Clinical Research Operations copy

For the second year in a row, Forte Research Systems has selected UAB, the CCTS Partner Network Hub, as the Top Performer among national OnCore organizations. Two research organizations —the Cancer Institute of New Jersey and the University of Kentucky Markey Cancer Center—tied for Most Improved.

The Top Performer in Clinical Research Operations Award recognizes the site that achieves the highest overall score, determined by comparing percentile rankings on benchmark categories against those of peer organizations. Metrics focus on study start up and implementation, including cycle time for IRB, PRMC, Open to Accrual to First Patient, % Target Enrollment Met, and SAE Reporting timelines. 

"This award reflects the dedication of our OnCore users, who work hard to keep their data complete and accurate," said UAB OnCore Initiative Team Lead John C. Sandefur.

CCTS applauds the UAB OnCore implementation team for its successful enterprise-wide rollout of the powerful clinical trials management system, including a planned upgrade to Version 15 and the ongoing training and support of the UAB research community. To honor their achievements and a second Forte Award for Excellence in Clinical Operations, CCTS is hosting a celebration on Wednesday, April 17, at 4:30pm--we welcome the UAB research community to join us at PCAMS in commemorating this milestone of success for the CCTS Clinical Trials Initiative
