Alliance Clinical RESEARCH PROFESSIONAL Research Integrity Service Excellence Award (ALLIANCE CRP RISE Award)

The Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology recognizes that clinical research professional (CRP) staff at Alliance participating sites are integral to the success of our mission to provide clinical trial participants with the best service possible. The Alliance Clinical Research Professionals Research Integrity Service Excellence Award was introduced in 2024 to recognize Alliance CRPs for their outstanding service. Alliance aims to celebrate site CRPs who exemplify excellence through quality, patient advocacy, professional development, and leadership with compassion, integrity, respect, safety, and teamwork. Alliance is seeking nominations of Alliance member CRPs demonstrating these qualities.

Awardees receive travel funding to attend the Alliance Fall Group meeting in November where the award will be presented during the plenary session. Awardees will also share their methods for success via a presentation during the CRP Education Session or an article in the Alliance newsletter.

Linda Bulone, RN, OCN, CCRC, has been named the 2025 recipient of the Alliance CRP RISE Award. Bulone is the Research Nurse Manager at Queens Hospital Cancer Center in New York, NY.
