SunshineMD provides sponsors and CROs with an investigator intelligence database that aggregates and enriches publicly reported data from the Physician Payments Sunshine Act and ClinicalTrials.gov to create a near‑census view of U.S. clinical trial investigators dating back to 2013. Its proprietary Sunshine Score benchmarks investigators on historical enrollment activity, enabling teams to compare performance, prioritize sites, and flag risk during feasibility and site‑selection workflows. The platform uses only non‑patient data, eliminating additional privacy or compliance concerns.

Problem
Pharmaceutical sponsors and CROs often lack comprehensive, reliable data on U.S. clinical trial investigators, making it difficult to assess past enrollment performance, therapeutic expertise, and site productivity during feasibility and site‑selection processes.
Solution
SunshineMD aggregates publicly reported information from the Physician Payments Sunshine Act (Open Payments) and ClinicalTrials.gov, then cleans, reconciles, and enriches these datasets to create a near‑census database of U.S. investigators dating back to 2013. The platform assigns a Sunshine Score that benchmarks investigators based on historical enrollment activity, providing a consistent metric for comparing performance and flagging risk. Users can query investigators by therapeutic area, indication, enrollment history, and site productivity, enabling data‑driven prioritization of sites and investigators throughout trial planning and execution. Because the data are non‑patient and publicly sourced, the solution avoids additional privacy or compliance concerns while delivering actionable intelligence for trial decision‑making.
Target Audience
Primary customers are pharmaceutical sponsors and contract research organizations that need detailed investigator performance data to inform feasibility assessments and site‑selection strategies for U.S. clinical trials.
