Target Audience: Education and training of research coordinators
The program is designed to introduce the research coordinator new to Indiana University to critically important concepts, requirements, and practical aspects of coordinating research studies across all types of clinical research at Indiana University. Besides core curriculum, break out sessions are offered for both clinical and behavioral trials.
This program is MANDATED for all coordinators within the Indiana University School of Medicine with less than two years' experience coordinating studies on the IUPUI/Clarian campuses. While the program targets the new study coordinator, experienced coordinators and novice investigators within the Indiana University Schools of Medicine, Dentistry, and Nursing; Clarian Health Partners; and the Veterans Administration and Wishard Hospitals often attend and find the content useful and skills strengthened.
You will be provided:
- A formalized training experience for study coordinators involved in clinical research.
- A local, cost-effective training mechanism for study coordinators as an alternative to the other more distant and more expensive training programs.
- Information regarding the practical application of key concepts and requirements within the university.
Topics include, but are not limited to:
- Overview of drug development
- GCPs and drug law
- study feasibility assessment
- budgeting
- contract review and routing the proposal
- study startup and the study approval process
- pre-study preparation
- study conduct (including the informed consent process and adverse event reporting)
- audits and study closeout
- special interest breakout sessions and identification of clinical research resources available at Indiana University
