NC TraCS and the UNC-Chapel Hill School of Medicine's CRSO are hosting a Clinical Trialist Training Bootcamp in-person and virtually beginning August 10th.

The goal of the four-session bootcamp is to educate current and future site Principal Investigators on industry-sponsored clinical trials, including:

• the landscape of clinical trials at UNC
• how to evaluate study opportunities
• elements of study start-up
• investigator responsibilities, and
• overseeing a study throughout its life cycle.

Investigators should leave the training with more confidence on how to conduct industry-sponsored clinical trials and manage research teams.

Sessions will be held from 4-6 p.m. in TraCS room 219 (Brinkhous-Bullitt 2^nd floor) and on Zoom on the following dates:

August 10 —Introduction, NC TraCS and CRSO Services, Research Opportunities and Workflow Development
