The CT:IQ GREET project (a Guidance for Recruitment Examining Experiences at Trial sites) has developed recommendations for optimising recruitment which are broadly translational and applicable at the site level. This practical guidance is aimed at site staff who may struggle with the day to day challenges of recruiting participants into clinical trials.
2025 Resource update

Feedback
We are interested in your feedback on the clinical trial site recruitment guide. Did it help you with your recruitment plans? Your feedback is incredibly valuable in helping us to refine the current version and hopefully enable the future development of a more interactive online tool. Share feedback about a CT:IQ project.
Surveys
This project conducted surveys of both site and sponsor staff as well as consumers, to better understand the barriers to clinical trial recruitment. We had over 500 responses to the surveys. The results of the surveys helped inform the recommendations contained in the site recruitment guide and can be accessed here:
