Help Alisha Moore Bring Clinical Trials to Sikeston

Help Bring Clinical Research and Jobs to Rural Missouri

Hi, I’m Alisha Moore, and I’m building what has never existed in my town — a thriving clinical research ecosystem that empowers communities, creates jobs, and provides access to life-changing healthcare trials.

I’m the CEO of Clinical Science Research Solutions (CSRS) and the Founder of I.A.M. Research & Wellness Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. I’m also the visionary behind the Clinical Science Research Solutions Research Institute Academy, a growing educational hub for clinical research professionals.

Right now, I’m actively working on opening a clinical trial site in Sikeston, Missouri and nearby counties — a region that has never had a clinical research presence.

Why This Matters

In Sikeston and many rural areas like it, we face a harsh reality:

That means people in our own community — seniors, children, cancer patients, those with chronic illnesses — miss out on the opportunity to participate in research that could save or extend lives.

I’m changing that.

What I’ve Built So Far

Clinical Science Research Solutions — A strategic consulting and site readiness firm helping hospitals, sites, and professionals break into the clinical research industry.

CSRS Research Institute Academy — An online training platform offering courses like:

Mentorship Programs — Supporting aspiring site owners, hospital systems, and even CRO/sponsor teams on building diverse, audit-ready research capacity.

Site Development — Actively establishing a clinical trial site right here in Sikeston, MO.

Upcoming Milestones

October 23–24, 2025: We are hosting our first online clinical research conference under our nonprofit — the SPARK Conference (Site Preparation and Advancement for Research Knowledge).

2026: Launch of our in-person clinical research conference, featuring workforce training, policy change conversations, and sponsor-CRO matchmaking for underrepresented communities.

My Journey

I hold a B.S. in Clinical Laboratory Science and a Master’s in Biology. I worked over 12 years in the hospital setting — first as a phlebotomist, then as a lab scientist. In 2021, I transitioned into clinical research, working with some of the largest CROs and sponsors in the industry.

Since then, I’ve:

I launched CSRS in July 2023 to close the education gap in clinical research — and I haven’t looked back.

We’re Building a Movement
