Welcome to Advarra University

This course covers the initial steps required to identify and begin a clinical trial. You will also learn the fundamentals of protocol feasibility, handling staff and service providers, managing a draft budget and contract, and how to handle IRB submissions. Attendance at this program has been approved for 0.50 contact hours of research specific continuing education on applications for Maintenance of ACRP’s CCRC®, CCRA®, CPI®, or ACRP-CP® certification designations. The Society of Clinical Research Associates (SOCRA - www.SOCRA.org) accepts documentation of candidate participation in continuing education programs for recertification if the program is applicable to clinical research regulations, operations or management, or to the candidate’s clinical research therapeutic area. This program offers 0.50 hours of CE credit. Read more

The goal of the research is to identify treatments or interventions that can be used on people across age, ethnicity, gender, and lifestyles. If the clinical trial does not represent the population that will ultimately benefit from the study findings, then we won’t have an accurate picture of the efficacy and safety of these treatments in the real world.  However, it is a known issue that many clinical trial populations do not represent the population that will ultimately benefit from the study treatments or interventions. This course will cover the ethical considerations of diversity and inclusion in clinical trials, identify barriers to diversity in research, share practical examples of what diversity in trials could look like and how to increase diverse participation, as well as how to track the effectiveness of your D&I initiatives.

During a clinical trial, the management of the investigational product (IP) is an important task that requires great care and attention to detail. Correct IP management minimizes the risk to study participants and protects the integrity of clinical trial data. This course aims to cover the practical concerns of IP management in the areas of accountability, storage, and administration.

After the Institutional Review Board (IRB) approves a clinical trial and it becomes open to accrual, the participant recruitment phase can begin. Participant recruitment can be performed in many ways and should be tailored to the needs of the study. This course covers the general steps to recruit participants to a study, common approaches to recruitment, and some resources and ideas to support recruitment.
