Description

The Sylvester Design and Management of Cancer Clinical Trials Course provides key information to advance translational clinical research, foster better clinical trial design, and ultimately improve patient care. Clinical research education works best when people learn together—not in silos. This course brings the full research team together, including PIs, advanced practice providers, nurses, clinical research coordinators, regulatory and lab staff, other clinical research professionals, PhD scientists, and trainees at all levels. Participants gain a strong foundation in cancer clinical research, and by learning in a shared virtual environment, attendees build common understanding, strengthen teamwork, and become better equipped to collaborate for clinical trial success. Holders of this badge gained insights into the clinical trial development process, taking an idea from a protocol to a funded clinical trial. They learned what it takes to get a protocol through institutional approval committees, how to build trust in clinical trials, the importance of incorporating patient-reported outcomes into clinical trials, and where to look for trial funding, including government, foundation, and industry sources.
