Networking
What does SPCRP offer in terms of networking?
The SPCRP offers virtual and in-person networking opportunities for all clinical research professionals across Penn Medicine. Expand your professional connections, meet CRPs outside of your division and department, and participate in both informal and structured conversations about conducting clinical research at Penn. New opportunities will be shared through the CRSPR listserv. Instructions for joining the listserv can be found here.
Coffee & Tea with CRPs - a virtual networking series
The best part of your Monday afternoon? An informal conversation with your fellow clinical research professionals and a chance to show off your best office mug! Held remotely on the first Monday of every other month at 2:00pm, this casual gathering is an opportunity to recharge, connect, and build community with other clinical researchers at Penn. Join with a beverage of your choice and enjoy conversation with colleagues across a range of roles and experience levels. Experienced and new CRPs, as well as those with varying lengths of service at Penn, are encouraged to attend. Approximately 1 month before each session, an RSVP REDCap link will be posted on the website and shared via the CRSPR listserv. We look forward to meeting you! See below for upcoming dates.
- June 1 -- please RSVP here!
- August 3
- October 5
Please also note that we are actively working to offer these sessions more frequently and at different dates and times to support a wider range of schedules. Check back for updates!
In-person Opportunities
We are actively working to expand in-person opportunities for networking and connection among CRPs across Penn Medicine. We held our first in-person networking session on March 26, 2026, and were excited to see a great turnout and receive positive feedback from attendees. People especially enjoyed the waffle vouchers and new pins for their lanyards. We are currently planning our next event - check back for updates!
