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
August 17 —Budget Preparation, Contract Review and Execution, IRB Application
August 24 —PI Responsibilities, Participant Recruitment, Participant Engagment and Consent
August 31 —Protocol Adherence and Data Management, Adverse Events and Protocol Deviations, Site Visits, Coordinator and Staff Oversight
