ConnectClinical is a dynamic directory of research sites, investigators, networks, and trials designed to increase communication between potential sponsors and sites, as well as between sites, referring physicians and potential patients. ConnectClinical was created to meet the need of a standardised communication system between researchers and sponsors. There is currently no easy way for potential research sponsors, whether commercial or academic, to easily identify sites for new research. This slows study start up and results in clinics and patients missing out on research opportunities. Our tool makes it easy for a sponsor team member at the coal-face of feasibility and site selection to pick up the phone to a new clinic, or easily identify clinics able to deliver on a given protocol beyond the ‘usual suspects'. ConnectClinical increases awareness of facilities, allowing sites to attract more research from a more diverse range of sponsors, in turn fostering a more varied and consistent pipeline for clinical research sites regardless of size or research interest.
