The goal of this two-day series is to provide researchers with the knowledge, tools, and resources to aid in the development of a scientific protocol for a clinical research study. Both sessions will begin at 9:00 AM and a question-and-answer session will follow each presentation.
On the second day of the series, we will take a "deeper dive" into clinical study design, statistics, and their impact on clinicaltrials.gov reporting:
- Clinical Protocol Study Design - aims, objectives, endpoints, and outcomes
- Statistical analysis, sample size considerations, data management
- Clinicaltrials.gov - introduction, registration, and outcome measure reporting
- Protocol problem spots and ways to improve protocols
Audience: academic researchers, scientists, study coordinators, and students engaged in clinical research and/or clinical trials.
ACRP Contact Hours: 2.0 Contact Hours of clinical research education on the application for maintenance of ACRP's ccrc®, ccra® or cpi®, certification designations will be available for attendees
