Expression of Interest and Site Selection

Version 1 - March 2023

Once a site has submitted interest in a study, the sponsor or Clinical Research Organisation (CRO) will systematically go through their site selection process to identify potential sites. They will look at the Expression of Interest (EOI) submitted and other site information.

A good example on how to showcase facilities in addition to submitting an EOI is by creating a website or short video displaying what your site has to offer. Click on the examples below to see more. For more guidance on how to submit an EOI contact us atsupportmystudyeastmidlands@nihr.ac.uk.

Here is an example of useful information you can add to an EOI.

The Patient Recruitment Centre (PRC) in Leicester have created a YouTube video to easily communicate their facilities to commercial companies. 

General Practices (GPs) in the East Midlands have created webpages with useful information that sponsors and CROs can easily access and look at to identify suitable sites.
