“Longboat is delighted to contribute to the Greater Gift Initiative, a wonderful organization that honors clinical trial participants by providing vaccines to children in need,” states Aidan Gannon, Head of Client Services and Innovation at Longboat Clinical. “At Longboat, we are passionate about making clinical trials a positive experience for study teams, site staff and patients, and as such, are very grateful to PMG and the Avoca Group for their hugely valuable contribution in helping us to create the best possible solution.”

Greater Gift Initiative is a 501(c)3 non-profit whose mission is to advance global health and highlight the greater good of clinical trial participation by gifting a vaccine to a child in honor of every clinical trial volunteer.

GGI currently partners with supporters that include pharmaceutical sponsors, contract research organizations (CROs), integrated site networks, independent dedicated research sites, site management organizations, and independent principal investigators.

Janice Hutt, Chief Operating Officer at The Avoca Group explains, “The Avoca Group in honored to be part of this engagement that resulted in a generous donation of vaccines from Longboat to the Greater Gift Initiative, an organization that is making a tremendous impact in global health by providing a vaccine to one child in need every time a clinical trial volunteer makes the decision to participate in a clinical trial. Like both PMG and Longboat, Avoca is committed to increasing clinical trial participation and educating patients of clinical trials as a health care option as well as improving patient engagement and patient celebration in clinical research.”

PMG Research is an integrated network of sites founded in 1979 that provides a comprehensive clinical research infrastructure to large physician practices and institutional health care providers. With a mission to bring clinical research to as many lives as possible, PMG has established collaborations with industry innovators such as Avoca and Longboat to bring solutions for efficiency to the clinical research enterprise.

“We are grateful for this incredibly generous donation by Longboat in partnership with Avoca,” states Amanda Wright, Executive Director of the Greater Gift Initiative. “Their acknowledgement of the need for recognition and celebration of clinical trial volunteers while advancing world health through vaccination illustrates the progress the clinical trials industry is making in moving toward a patient-centric model.”
