The Chairman of MAGI, Norm Goldfarb, exclaimed his delight with this new partnership by saying: "It is an honour for MAGI to be working with the PharmaTimes Clinical Researcher of the Year award 2019 and I can’t wait to see the talent that this competition has to offer. Also, MAGI will be offering a discount to all the entries of the 2019 Clinical Researcher of the Year Award – The Americas to give a little more incentive to take the step up and put your name down".

To honour this new partnership, the 2019 Clinical Researcher of the Year competition will be held alongside the MAGI conference at Boston Massachusetts in May 2019.

This new partnership with MAGI promises to make the Clinical Researcher of the Year 2019 the most prestigious and largest-scale event so far, re-iterating the growth and success the competition continues to build year after year.

Joan Chambers, Vice President of ClinX and member of the executive steering group said: "This partnership expands the visibility and importance of the Clinical Researcher of the Year – The Americas event to a larger audience of clinical research professionals who may be interested in participating to share their knowledge and be recognised within their companies and among fellow colleagues. Through Norm’s knowledge in building MAGI and his expansive network, this partnership will only help propel the Clinical Researcher of the Year – The Americas event for 2019 and hopefully, for many years."

PharmaTimes Business Manager Anna Yeardley said: "This is a great occasion for the Clinical Researcher of the Year awards as it really shows off the strength and rigour of the competition, to be able to have a globally respected brand such as MAGI partnering with us."
