Boise (Meridian), Idaho
Velocity Clinical Research, Boise
Velocity's Boise research site was founded in 1991 as the first free-standing clinical research facility in the state of Idaho, and was acquired by Velocity in 2019. This site’s initial focus was on clinical studies for treatment of infectious diseases, participating in antibiotic trials across a wide range of indications. Over the following years, Boise developed the expertise and capabilities to become a significant site for conducting vaccine trials and clinical trials for chronic medical conditions.
Velocity Boise is located in Meridian, just west of the city of Boise and easily accessible to the entire metropolitan area known as the Treasure Valley. This area contains Idaho’s three largest cities, Boise, Meridian, and Nampa whose combined population makes it the most populous in the state. The Boise facility is located just off a major highway and less than one mile from a regional hospital.
All trials conducted at the site are performed in accordance with ICH and FDA guidelines, and in compliance with GCP. The Boise team is committed to being a resource for study participants, to providing the highest quality of patient care with compassion and kindness, and to advancing medicine through research.

Site Operations Manager
Laura Crenshaw earned her BA in Mass Communication and Journalism, with a Minor in Marketing from Boise State University. Needing a full-time job in the mass economic recession of 2008 she agreed to come work as a patient recruiter for clinical research, knowing nothing of the industry, but eager and willing to use her “gift of gab” to help market Advanced Clinical Research in the community. Not knowing the full career path and opportunities that lie ahead she spent 5 years recruiting patients into hundreds of vaccine and chronic studies, then moved into adhering to FDA regulations for the site as a Regulatory Specialist for another 5 years. With her in-depth knowledge of the industry and having worked 10 years for the company she advanced to Business Development to help continue building connections with sponsors and CRO’s to bring new therapeutic areas to the site. After successfully navigating these areas of research she became the Site Operations Manager in April 2021 under Velocity Clinical Research. Laura loves helping problem solve and tackle day-to-day operations to help drive Velocity’s success.
