Join PsyCORE

At PsyCORE, we believe that every research site has the potential to drive transformative advances in psychedelic medicine. By partnering with our consortium, your site gains access to a robust, scalable infrastructure designed to streamline operations, enhance data quality, and accelerate study start‐up. Whether you are an academic center, community clinic, or private research facility, PsyCORE provides the tools, expertise, and connections you need to excel in the rapidly evolving landscape of psychedelic clinical trials.

Key Benefits for Member Sites

  1. Harmonized Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) & Site Work Instructions (SWIs)
    • Access our library of GCP‐aligned templates and best practices that have been vetted by leading Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) in psychiatry, neurology, and medicine.
    • Implement uniform protocols to reduce variability across sites, minimize audit findings, and accelerate regulatory review.
    • Leverage our regularly updated SWIs for critical tasks—ranging from informed consent walkthroughs to compound handling—to ensure consistency and compliance at every phase.
  2. Performance Benchmarking & Analytics
    • Monitor your site’s performance against anonymized network‐wide data, including metrics such as time to first patient in (FPI), enrollment rates, and retention statistics.
    • Identify operational bottlenecks and best‐practice “bright spots” through our real‐time analytics dashboards, allowing you to course‐correct faster and improve overall efficiency.
    • Receive quarterly “Site Health” reports highlighting key performance indicators, opportunities for improvement, and peer comparisons.
  3. Shared Patient Funnel & Referral Network
    • Tap into a centralized recruitment ecosystem that includes national outreach campaigns, community‐based referral partnerships, and PsyCORE’s own patient registry.
    • Benefit from PsyCORE’s streamlined matching algorithms, which take your site’s geographic region, patient population, and therapeutic expertise into account before directing prescreened leads to you.
    • Reduce wasted outreach effort—focus on qualified, study‐ready candidates instead of cold calls or broad advertising—so your coordinators and investigators can spend more time on high‐value patient interactions.
  4. KOL‐Led Scientific & Strategic Guidance
    • Engage with PsyCORE’s scientific leadership team—comprised of renowned investigators and thought leaders in psychedelic research—who provide protocol review, feasibility assessments, and input on special populations.
    • Participate in regular “Clinical Strategy Roundtables” where KOLs share emerging insights, discuss evolving regulatory considerations, and offer advice on study design refinements.
    • Co‐author consortium‐driven white papers, present at PsyCORE‐sponsored symposia, and build your site’s reputation through thought‐leadership collaborations.

Collaboration & Community

  • Peer‐to‐Peer Learning: Join an exclusive Slack workspace where site coordinators, principal investigators, and operations leads exchange troubleshooting tips, share resource materials, and coordinate cross‐site initiatives.
  • Quarterly Site Forums: Present case studies, discuss recruitment challenges, and co‐develop innovative retention strategies alongside fellow PsyCORE members.
  • Mentorship & Onboarding: If you are a newer or smaller site, you can be paired with a more experienced “mentor site” within PsyCORE. Mentors provide guidance on site setup, budget forecasting, and patient engagement best practices—accelerating your time to readiness.

How to Join PsyCORE

  1. Preliminary Assessment
    • Fill out the brief “Site Interest” form below with basic information about your location, therapeutic areas of interest, and key personnel.
    • Our Operations Team will schedule a 30-minute “Discovery Call” to discuss your site’s capabilities, patient population, and alignment with PsyCORE’s mission.
  2. Site Qualification & Vetting
    • Complete a standardized “Site Questionnaire” covering prior clinical trial experience, staffing structure, and facility resources.
    • Submit a copy of your most recent FDA/IRB audit report (if available), proof of GCP training for key staff, and your institution’s insurance and credentialing documentation.
    • Undergo a virtual “Site Tour” demonstration (via video call) so the QA team can verify essential infrastructure, including secure drug storage, ECG/EEG equipment (if relevant), and private consent spaces.
  3. Agreement & Onboarding
    • Once qualified, sign the PsyCORE Membership Agreement—this outlines roles, responsibilities, data‐sharing terms, and membership fees or success‐fee arrangements.
    • Attend a mandatory “Onboarding Bootcamp” (half-day virtual workshop) where you’ll receive institution-specific SOPs, set up user accounts for our analytics portal, and meet your assigned PsyCORE liaison.
    • Your site will be added to our centralized “Sites Dashboard,” making it searchable by sponsors, CROs, and PsyCORE’s patient registry team.
  4. Go-Live & Continuous Improvement
    • Within 2–4 weeks of completing onboarding, your site will be “Go-Live” and actively included in all new study negotiations, referral campaigns, and consortium communications.
    • Receive quarterly performance reviews, ongoing training updates, and invitations to exclusive PsyCORE events. As performance metrics improve, your site may be considered for leadership roles—such as serving on trial steering committees or co-authoring consortium research publications.
