RICHMOND, Va. and DURHAM, N.C., June 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Slope, the only end-to-end, vendor-agnostic software provider for managing clinical inventory and biospecimens, and Velocity Clinical Research, the world’s largest organization of fully-owned and integrated clinical research sites, today announced that their strategic partnership has led to a comprehensive roll-out of Slope’s premium inventory management solution across Velocity’s 70+ sites spanning the United States and Europe. The deployment is already enabling Velocity to leverage trial equipment data to inform study feasibility decisions across its network.

This partnership represents a significant milestone for both organizations. Slope further solidifies its position in the clinical research space by standardizing its industry-leading clinical inventory management solution with a premier research site network, while Velocity gains access to an innovative platform that has already been adopted by over 2,400 research sites globally across over two dozen countries.

“Slope’s base inventory management solution had already been independently adopted at 31 of our sites,” said Nicholas Spittal, Chief Operations Officer at Velocity. “This grassroots adoption gave confidence that Slope is easy to use and already providing added value for running efficient sites. With real-time visibility into study equipment and clinical supplies across all of Velocity, we can now make faster, better-informed decisions about operational readiness, prioritization, and allocation of work. We’re already leveraging this data to support our study feasibility and quality assurance processes.”

“From its inception, Slope has championed research sites first and foremost,” said Rust Felix, Co-founder and CEO at Slope. “Research sites are on the front lines of clinical trials, playing the most challenging and critical role in bringing new therapies to patients. When we help them work more efficiently and reduce their administrative burden, the entire clinical research ecosystem benefits. We applaud Velocity for recognizing the value that Slope brings to research sites, and we’re excited that our partnership is already fueling our joint efforts to address one of the industry’s most significant pain points — managing the inventory and study equipment that are essential to running clinical trials.”

By feeding Slope’s equipment data into its broader operational infrastructure, Velocity can now determine at a glance whether a site is operationally ready to support a new study — reducing the time and guesswork involved in site selection. As the partnership continues to scale, both organizations expect these operational gains to translate into faster study startup times, reduced supply waste, and a stronger competitive position for Velocity’s sites in attracting new trials.

Motorola Solutions Named Platinum CAD Partner for The Monitoring Association’s ASAP Program

Partnership supports modernization of alarm-to-911 data exchange through new API integration

MCLEAN, Va., June 23, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — The Monitoring Association (TMA) announced that Motorola Solutions has been named a Platinum Communications Partner in support of the Automated Secure Alarm Protocol (ASAP), recognizing the company’s leadership in improving the public safety ecosystem, telecommunicator wellness and modernizing digital alarm communication between monitoring centers and public safety agencies.

“Working with Motorola Solutions CAD systems enables us to meet agencies where they already are — within their existing CAD environments,” said Karen Carlson, vice president and general manager of ASAP Service.

As one of the largest providers of computer-aided dispatch (CAD) systems, Motorola Solutions encourages ASAP adoption among emergency communications centers (ECCs) and works to provide connectivity to ASAP Service within its CAD solutions.

In 2025, Motorola Solutions introduced a cloud-based capability to simplify integrating ASAP alarm data into emergency communications workflows. The company recently expanded this capability across its command center software portfolio, including CommandCentral Aware, PremierOne and Flex, to promote seamless ASAP connectivity for its customers. This integration helps public safety agencies deploy the service more quickly and with fewer technical barriers. For ECCs already using Motorola Solutions CAD systems, enabling ASAP becomes a natural extension of their existing infrastructure to help reduce deployment time and cost.

“Seconds can make all the difference in an emergency,” said Todd Piett, senior vice president, Command Center and Cloud Solutions, Motorola Solutions. “By creating a direct digital connection between alarm companies and 911 dispatch software through the ASAP Service, we can help keep emergency lines open for those in need while reducing manual coordination for dispatchers.”

The ASAP AWS GovCloud capabilities provide ECCs with a streamlined, secure, resilient and standards-based method to receive alarm data directly into their CAD workflows. For the ECC, this eliminates manual call handling and reduces call-processing times and transcription errors. The result is better-informed responses, faster dispatch times, enhanced situational awareness for field responders and reduced workflow for telecommunicators for them to focus on higher-priority incidents.

A recent deployment in St. Joseph County, Ind. demonstrates that impact in practice. As the first in the nation to deploy the cloud-based alarm integration, the St. Joseph County 911 Consolidated Communications Center is on pace to save the county’s telecommunicators 350 hours a year that would otherwise have been spent on the phone, helping them keep 911 lines clear for the community’s most time-sensitive emergencies.

“Working with Motorola Solutions CAD systems enables us to meet agencies where they already are — within their existing CAD environments,” said Karen Carlson, vice president and general manager of ASAP Service. “By integrating directly into the tools ECCs use every day, we make it easier for agencies to adopt ASAP and begin seeing meaningful improvements in call handling and response efficiency.”

Motorola Solutions is also actively working with its ECC customers to promote and deploy the ASAP service. The company maintains ongoing collaboration with TMA through regular working sessions to review deployment progress and support the program’s continued expansion. This level of engagement and operational coordination reflects the commitment recognized by TMA’s Platinum Partner designation.

National Press Club Statement on Justice Department decision to subpoena journalists

Published

on

June 23, 2026

By

WASHINGTON, June 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — National Press Club President Mark Schoeff Jr. issued the following statement today:

“The decision to subpoena journalists and seek to compel their testimony before a grand jury represents one of the most aggressive actions against a free and independent press in recent memory.

Reporters were one step away from being forced to participate in a criminal investigation because they were doing their jobs. That should alarm every American who values a free press.

Although the administration withdrew the subpoenas, it owes the public a clear explanation for why they were drafted in the first place. Doing so sends a threatening message to journalists and sources that can linger long after the paperwork is gone.

The issuance of the subpoenas raises profound questions about how such an extraordinary step was approved, who authorized it and why federal prosecutors believed compelling journalists to testify was appropriate in the first place.

Journalists cannot effectively serve the public if sources believe reporters may be forced into the role of government witnesses. Even the threat of compelled testimony can chill reporting, deter whistleblowers and make it harder for the public to learn information that powerful institutions would prefer remain hidden.”

About the National Press Club

Founded in 1908, the National Press Club is the world’s leading professional organization for journalists and a leading voice for press freedom in the U.S. and worldwide.
