The Site Council consists of clinical research sites and site networks dedicated to the professional conduct of clinical research studies and advancement of the clinical research enterprise. We have drafted the Site Council Bill of Rights to clarify site priorities for sponsors and CROs. Sites must earn these rights by conducting clinical studies in a safe, ethical, efficient, high-quality, and timely manner. We believe that the clinical research enterprise can succeed only when study sponsors and CROs have healthy relationships with healthy sites. 

The Site Council Bill of Rights includes six fundamental rights (supported by 24 examples):
- The Right to Essential Information
- The Right to Professional Autonomy
- The Right to Fair & Timely Compensation
- The Right to Proficient Governance
- The Right to Patient Centricity
- The Right to a Collaborative Relationship

We invite clinical research sites and site networks to join the Site Council. There are no membership dues. The only member time commitment -- which is modest -- is talking about the Site Council Bill of Rights with sponsors and CROs. When study sponsors and CROs consistently hear from member sites about the Site Council Bill of Rights, they will have to take it seriously. To join the Site Council, click here.

We are also starting to get traction with sponsors and CROs, who can join as Supporters, as well as organizations that work with numerous sites, who can join as Partners. There are no membership dues.
