Foreword by Debbie Rosenbaum, chair, Clinical Researcher of the Year – The Americas

This year we are celebrating the 10th anniversary of Clinical Researcher of the Year – The Americas, and what a challenging year it has been for everyone involved in the research industry!

The competition is reviewed annually by the Executive Steering Group to ensure it accurately reflects the environment in which clinical researchers in the Americas are working.

This esteemed committee, which is made up of key industry leaders and stakeholders, put their minds together to revamp the categories with brand new challenges to keep the finalists on their toes.

To make it to the finals, all 53 individual finalists and 20 teams let their creative and critical thinking shine by submitting their written response to the theme of Building Quality in Clinical Trials, 10 years of celebrating quality clinical research professionals in Stage 2 of the competition.

The finalists competed in rigorous, real-life professional challenges in the live virtual finals day, which were designed and judged by senior clinical research leaders. Finalists had to put their skills to the test against all kinds of clinical researchers, from every corner of the Americas representing a huge array of different companies.

The candidates have all shown incredible talent and determination to reach the finals. I raise a virtual toast to all of those who had the initiative and courage to pursue this professional achievement of being a Finalist of the Clinical Researcher of the Year – The Americas, and of course to all of those who won!
