In order to conduct research safely and in compliance with regulatory requirements, there are many trainings that need to be completed by faculty and researchers prior to and during the conduct of the research.
Staff who process proposals, administer grant awards, and negotiate contracts and other research-related agreements in support of this research also need to complete required training.
In addition to required training, there are several other supplemental training opportunities that can be helpful to clinical researchers and their support staff.
