SCRS Eagle Award
About The Award
The SCRS Eagle Award is a tribute to exceptional partnerships forged between sites and the CROs and sponsors they work with every day.
For more than a decade, the SCRS Eagle Award has recognized outstanding leadership, professionalism, integrity, passion, and dedication to advancing clinical research through strong site partnerships.
The symbiotic relationship between sites and the industry stands as a cornerstone for the success of clinical research, influencing innovation and advancement within the field. It is the synergy between these organizations that cultivates invaluable experiences and insights for the most crucial member of our work — the patient.

Message from Merck
We are honored to receive the Society for Clinical Research Sites (SCRS) Eagle Sponsor of Choice Award for the fourth consecutive year, reflecting our valued partnership with clinical trial sites worldwide.
Sites are the heartbeat of clinical research. Their dedication, resilience and unwavering focus on patients make progress possible. We remain committed to reducing complexity and empowering sites to focus on what truly matters: the rights, safety and well-being of every participant.
Together, we are not just running trials – we are delivering hope through collaboration, urgency and purpose to turn scientific discovery into life-changing medicines and vaccines for patients and caregivers around the world.
We sincerely thank patients, site teams, IRBs/ECs, investigators, nurses, pharmacists, CRAs, and all partners for their ongoing dedication and collaboration.
With gratitude,
Jennifer Sheller
