SiteBridge Research, together with iParticipate, is kicking off its annual Bridging the Gap in Clinical Trials Arts contest. This effort officially launches SiteBridge's community engagement program and aims to connect the arts, sciences, and community in support of clinical trial participation.
The contest began on June 14 with voting commencing on August 7. Winners will be notified on November 20. It will feature talent across four categories: visual art, music, photography, and dance.
