A Key Course for Research Staff

Register for the Fundamentals of Research Coordination course, September 9-11 at JHSON. The detailed work of implementing a research study is often delegated to the research coordinator or nurse. Research staff are frequently responsible for managing grants and budgets, preparing regulatory submissions, writing study protocols, creating data collection forms, managing databases, developing recruiting plans, and supervising others. Individuals in this role know all too well the difficulties of learning on-the job. This course teaches you the skills to be successful in research coordination and gives you an overview of topics needed to sit for the Association of Clinical Research Professional exam, enabling certification.

Already certified? This course also keeps you current in research topics.
