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 a.m. and a question-and-answer session will follow each presentation.
The first day of the series will provide an introduction and focus on the following key points:
- Who needs a clinical protocol and why it is important
- UNC Scientific Review Committee processes
- Types of clinical protocols, and content expectations for sections of the protocol
- Resources and tools available at UNC to support clinical protocol development
Target Audience: academic researchers, scientists, study coordinators, and students engaged in clinical research and/or clinical trials.
ACRP Contact Hours Update: The ACRP no longer approves 3rd party requests for CE credit. However, attendees are still welcome to self-report to ACRP for CE credit.
Building on discussions initiated during the October 2023 kick-off networking event, the UNC Office of Research Development is engaging with researchers across campus to strengthen connections and strategize for future successes in setting up a network to respond nimbly and effectively to funding and collaboration opportunities.
Join the ORD on May 14, 2024 from 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. for an enriching session aimed at expanding your collaborative network. Delve into the recent White House Initiative on Women's Health Research announcement, explore UNC and other funding opportunities, and gain insights from colleagues regarding their current projects.
Agenda includes:

Join the Children's Research Institute for a hybrid seminar featuring two presentations. Anisha Gerber, MD, Pediatric Nephrology resident at UNC School of Medicine, will present on environmental impacts on pediatric kidney health, and Maria Ansar, MD, PhD, General Pediatrics resident at UNC School of Medicine, will present on the transition from PhD to medical residency. Participate in the seminar either in person at 3116 Mary Ellen Jones Building (with lunch provided) or via Zoom.

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 - registration and outcome measure reporting
- Protocol problem spots and ways to improve protocols
Target Audience: academic researchers, scientists, study coordinators, and students engaged in clinical research and/or clinical trials.

The National Consortium for Data Science (NCDS) is now offering Foundations of AI courses to help in its mission to connect diverse communities of data science experts to support a 21st century data-driven economy. Their focus is to help bridge the gap between data scientists in the public and private sectors by providing educational and upskilling opportunities.
The first course, Introduction to AI will be held on Thursday, May 16 at 1 PM ET
In this half-day course, participants will learn about Artificial Intelligence (AI), starting with foundational concepts in machine learning and deep learning, then moving to the basics of Natural Language Processing and Computer Vision that got us to our current boom in Generative AI as demonstrated by GPT-3, DALL-E and other well-known tools. Participants will learn how to train their own AI models, how to make the most of open-source and pre-trained models on the market, and how to stay ahead of the curve on technical improvements.
Instructor: Amy Hemmeter Sr. Manager of Data Science in Natural Language Processing at Workhuman
Cost: $300
