Daniel GUERIN - Innovation and Marketing Director

Personally I’m thrilled and very proud that Blueprint Partnership are sponsoring this critically important award for the second year running. The next generation of leaders in our industry must possess unrivaled tenacity, resilience, commitment to their goals, with an eagerness to learn, develop and self-improve for the good of themselves, the company they work for, their clients and the future of our Healthcare Research Industry.

Carolyn Chamberlain - Commercial Director

Adelphi are proud to be involved with, and contributing to EPHMRA and its great work, by continuously sponsoring the MR Excellence awards since 2017.  We chose to support the ‘Making a Business Impact‘ from the start, because after all that should be the ultimate purpose in all we do, and in bringing better healthcare to our communities and success to our Research and Innovation based industry. We look forward to receiving, judging and selecting the winning contributions.

So, how do we judge the Awards?

Judging criteria are:

All Award submissions will be judged according to these criteria:

1. Clarity of the message conveyed
2. How well the message was presented and conveyed
3. How engaging will the message be
4. How new and innovative is the approach outlined and the added value provided by the presentation
5. What is the level of the business impact resulting from the study
6. The paper provided clear and tangible takeaway message

For the Future Leaders Award we will also look at:

1. To what extend the three case studies presented represent a good breadth of challenges and solutions/methods (to assess ability of working across different business issues and methodologies)
2. How clear was the personal contribution of the person within the overall research success?

For the Business Impact Award:

1. To what extent did the idea in the submission impact the business, i.e. address the problem?

3. Breadth of stakeholders involved.

For the Innovative Approach Award:

1. To what extent did the submission offer a new and innovative approach to address a business need.
