Sponsor Education Programme

Be recognised not just for the studies you run, but for what you do to improve public understanding of clinical research.

Talk to us

Build trust early. Recruit with confidence later.

You fund the event. We handle the rest: trained Academy educators who meet people face to face, explain what clinical trials really involve, and answer the questions that usually go unasked.

The result is trust built early, so when recruitment starts, communities are already informed, engaged and ready to listen.

Why this matters

Sponsor education gets there first.

  • Build the trust that speeds up recruitment later

  • Reach communities before your competitors do

  • Turn engagement into a measurable future participant pipeline

  • Strengthen diversity and inclusion outcomes, backed by real reach data

  • Position your organisation as an education leader, not just a study sponsor

  • Reduce recruitment risk by starting the relationship early, not at study go-live

The Innovative Trials difference

This is not a promotional campaign. Our educators lead with education, not recruitment, and prioritise genuine understanding over inflated numbers.

For you, that means communities who trust you before you ever ask them to take part.

FAQs

Questions about this programme

Contact Us
Is this recruitment or education?

Education. Our educators lead with education rather than recruitment, and prioritise genuine understanding over inflated numbers. People who are interested are referred on to relevant studies, but the conversation starts with what a clinical trial actually is.

Where do the events happen?

Wherever there are already people: health and wellness expos, community festivals, disease awareness events, universities and colleges, shopping centres, corporate wellbeing events, sporting events and local community gatherings. We identify and attend them; you do not have to find them.

Whose branding is on it?

Yours. Event sponsorship and branding, and distribution of your approved literature at the event.

Who actually runs the day?

We do. You fund the event and we handle the rest, with a trained community outreach specialist team on the ground: explaining what clinical trials are, clarifying participant safety and rights, sharing the experiences of real patients and answering the questions that usually go unasked.

How do we know what it achieved?

A report on the event's impact: people engaged, referral numbers by QR code, the questions that came up most, global reach and community feedback.
