NC TraCS is hosting a 4-session, virtual Clinical Trialist Training Bootcamp beginning on August 3rd.
The goal of the bootcamp is to educate current and future site Principal Investigators on industry-sponsored clinical trials, including the landscape of clinical trials at UNC-Chapel Hill; 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 are held on Mondays via Zoom from 4:00-6:00 p.m. ET on each of the following dates:
- Monday, August 3: Introduction, NC TraCS services, SHIRE overview, Research opportunities & workflow development
- Monday, August 17: Budget preparation, Contract review & execution, IRB application
- Monday, August 31: PI responsibilities, Participant recruitment, Participant engagement, Consent
- Monday, September 21: Oncore overview, Adverse events & protocol deviations, Site visits, Coordinator & staff oversight

This session provides an overview of changes to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant application requirements, including new Common Forms that will be required for due dates on or after January 25, 2026.
In particular, this presentation will focus on the Biosketch and Current and Pending (Other) Support forms, which will need to be completed using the SciENcv tool. It will include demonstrations of SciENcv, as well as ORCID iD creation and linking steps. The presentation aims to prepare researchers for the new NIH requirements by providing detailed instructions and resources to ensure compliance.
This program is offered by the Health Sciences Library and led by Katherine Howell. It is part of the Grants and Compliance and Advancing Clinical Research Skills workshop tracks.
This session is being offered remotely via Zoom only. Registrants will receive a Zoom link.
The NC TraCS Biostatistics Seminar Series is appropriate for those with a basic familiarity with statistics. These seminars introduce topics not often included in STATS 101.
In this seminar Yun Li, PhD, will discuss meta-analyses. Those interested may want to register for both this seminar and our subsequent presentation on systematic reviews, but this seminar can also stand alone.
Please note: This seminar will not be recorded and materials will be shared during the seminar or with documented attendees only. Attendance may be gathered from Zoom attendance reports.
