2024 Clinical Trials Day Nominees

This Clinical Trials Day, we celebrate the invaluable contributions of our dedicated volunteers who play a vital role in advancing clinical research and fostering community connections within our SOCRA chapters.  

The purpose of the SOCRA chapter program is to provide a cost free forum under which members can learn, exchange information, grow professionally, and build strong foundations for successful clinical research outcomes.  

SOCRA has over 40 active chapters, reaching over 11,000 learners each year.  As we commemorate Clinical Trials Day, it's important to recognize that this celebration extends far beyond individual accolades. Clinical Trials Day is a testament to the collaborative spirit that defines our field. It is a day to acknowledge the collective efforts of every member of our community. Those members listed below, nominated by their peers, are just a few of our volunteers doing amazing work.
