Less training. Better trials. Sites that actually want to work with you.

ProofPilot is a featured contributor to the SCRS Cut >25 initiative — an industry-wide commitment to reduce redundant site training by at least 25%, without compromising compliance or quality. Here's how we're helping sponsors get there.

Site training has become a structural barrier

A recent industry assessment of more than 500 clinical research professionals revealed a quiet crisis hiding in plain sight — one that's slowing study start-up, draining site engagement, and adding cost before a single patient is enrolled.

What is Cut >25?

The SCRS Cut >25 initiative is the clinical research industry's formal response to training overload — a community-wide commitment to a minimum 25% reduction in redundant or inefficient training, with no compromise on protocol-critical or safety-critical content. The target isn't training itself. It's the repetitive, low-value requirements that pile up study after study. 

Rebuilding the training stack around what sites actually need

The challenge that proved the model came from a sponsor running a study in NICU settings — high volumes of rotating nursing staff, unconventional workflows, and a compliance burden traditional LMS models simply couldn't handle. Keeping 25 NICU nurses per site current would require a fundamentally different approach.

We started with a deliberate rejection of conventional assumptions. Instead of treating training as a completion event, we prioritized the right resource at the right moment — contextual guidance deployed at the point of need, not weeks in advance.

 

1 Training reciprocity across studies
So site staff don't repeat the same modules every time
2 Role-based, competency-based pathways
Tied to actual responsibilities, not generic completion
3 Workflow-embedded contextual guidance
Bypasses the LMS entirely for routine tasks
4 eTMF integration via open API
Reliable documentation for large, rotating site populations
