The eClinical Forum offers 2 absolutely free system assessment forms that consist of regulatory-based questions for evaluating the suitability of an investigator site system to provide data/records for clinical trials.Both forms are part of the eSRA Handbook which provides guidance to sites on how to complete the forms.  We request that Sponsors and CROs do not separate the forms from the handbook. Sites may separate the forms from the handbook after completion such that they are only sharing and storing the completed forms.

Does the eClinical Forum keep a list of sites that have completed eCF Site Assessments?

Due to privacy laws in different countries, we do not keep such a list, however sponsors can keep a list of eSRAs they have received.We encourage sites to store their completed assessments in a central location (such as their IT dept) so that other groups within the same organisation / using the same computer system, can use the previously completed assessment as a starting point.

Release of the 2026 electronic Site Readiness Assessment (eSRA)

The 2026 electronic Site Readiness Assessment (eSRA) is here

The latest version of eClinical Forum’s eSRA is now available for  download, free and open to the industry. If you work at a clinical research site, eSRA is designed to help you. It's a standardized checklist that lets you evaluate your readiness to support electronic clinical trial processes before a study starts, so you can identify gaps early, not mid-trial.

What's updated in 2026: 

  • The eSRA Form S has been lightly refined, while the Sponsor Guide sees more substantial updates along with a new appendix.
  • The Handbook has been refreshed with updated formatting and the new eCF logo.
  • No changes were needed to the underlying regulatory reference documents this year, as reviewed by our Regulatory Advisory Group.
