PharmaTimes created the CRA competition in 1999 as an opportunity for professionals to benchmark their skills against peers in a learning environment and be judged by an independent steering committee of high-level industry leaders.
The Clinical Research Associate of the Year recognition is the latest of several top honours earned by PPD, including the PharmaTimes 2012 Clinical Team of the Year award, the 2012 Scrip Award for Best Technological Development in Clinical Trials, and 2011 Scrip Awards for Best Contract Research Organization and Best Technological Development in Clinical Trials.
