- 9:15 AM - 12:15 PM Benchmark Your Site - Survey Results
Prior to the Summit meeting, each site will be asked to complete the Site Solutions Summit survey. While this survey does take some time to complete, each site thus far refers to it as a labor of love. Why? Because nowhere else can sites find the honest and unfiltered metrics they seek to measure their site's performances against the "norm." The results of the survey will be discussed in a collaborative environment with our motto, "There are no competitors among us, just like-minded people doing the same thing in different locations." Solutions will be shared and suggestions for the Summit Best Site Practices will be established. Results from the survey will be published in the annual Site Solutions Summit position paper.

During the Annual Eagle Award and Dinner, the Sponsor, CRO and IRB most deserving of this coveted award will be recognized and presented with the Site Solutions Summit Eagle award.
