CREATIVITY AND ENGAGEMENT IN RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION COMMUNICATIONS

WHAT IS IT?

Now in its 6th year, the Participant Engagement Award (PEA) recognizes innovation and change in how the industry communicates with participants in the fields of recruitment and retention in clinical trials.

PEA embodies the values and personal accomplishments of Jerry Matczak, who sadly passed away soon after receiving the inaugural 2017 award. We dedicate this award to Jerry in the hopes that it will serve as a reminder of his ideals and accomplishments. SCOPE’s 2022 Participant Engagement Award program is brought to you by Cambridge Healthtech Institute (CHI)’s SCOPE.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

We welcome submissions from all facets of the industry, including, but not limited to Sites, CRO’s, e-Patient Advisors, Agencies, Start-Ups, and Sponsors and invite you to submit your best work in the Patient Recruitment and Retention communications field.

All submissions will be reviewed by study participants, industry peers, and a panel of industry experts. Finalists will be selected to present their concepts in person at SCOPE taking place February 7-10, 2022 in Orlando, Florida. This exciting competition will bring awareness to you and your company for excellent and engaging work.

Each finalist will be given 2 minutes to present their concepts, followed by a question and answer session conducted by the judges. Each submission will be reviewed and rated for ability to improve access, awareness, and participation in clinical trials, creativity, innovation, regulatory and legal compliance, and the ability to improve diversity, equity, and inclusion. Awards will be given for 1st through 3rd place with special recognition for all presenters.

HOW TO WIN?

Your submission must truly be designed to engage potential, current, or alumni study participants and/or their influencers and show marked improvements in the status quo.

We are not looking for: tip sheets, guidance documents, promotional “brochure-ware” or rewritten press releases
We are looking for: submissions based in education, recruitment, awareness and beyond. This can be anything from an interactive tool to a Superbowl Television commercial. The world is your pallet ... find your medium and your muse.

Helpful questions to address in your submission:

How did you engage clinical trial participants in a novel and innovative way?
How did this benefit the clinical trial ecosystem?
How did you measure the success of your efforts?
How did you improve diversity, equity and inclusion?

Judges are looking for innovation, creativity and messaging while meeting industry standards and compliance rules.
