What Makes a “Sponsor of Choice?” - Critical Criteria to Consider
Tuesday 1:00 pm - 1:50 pm ET
Sites of all sizes across the country are responsible for managing a diverse and successful research portfolio, often composed of and supported by industry-sponsored studies. What makes a sponsor or CRO stand out in the study selection process? In this session, a panel of diverse research sites will provide input to sponsor and CRO attendees on the criteria they use to evaluate protocols, organizations, and study opportunities that impact a sites’ decision to select a study. Sponsors and CROs, in attendance will learn how your company can improve your site network and relationships, and how decisions made by your team impact a site’s experience with a specific study.

Supporting DEI Recruitment Efforts in Clinical Trials
Tuesday 1:00 pm - 1:50 pm ET
Topics related to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) continue to be an emphasis in clinical research. DEI is baked into the principles and requirements for the ethical conduct of research via the principle of Justice from the Belmont Report. The NIH requires that ‘diverse lived experiences and exposures’ are represented through inclusion of appropriate racial ethnic minority groups. However, beyond a statement that our research subjects should exhibit diversity, equity and inclusion, there is little guidance on what researchers should actually do to achieve it. This session will focus on how institutions can utilize data collected on clinical trial enrollment through OnCore and NIH reporting of enrollment numbers to assess whether targeted enrollment goals for diversity, equity, and inclusion are met and take corrective action accordingly.

Tuesday 2:00 pm - 2:50 pm ET
Hey Sponsors and CROs! How much do you think you know about systems and processes in place to support research at sites? To successfully address challenges between stakeholders, sponsors and CROs must gain deeper understanding of how research sites operate and the tools in place to support both their research and operational goals. Sponsors and CROs in attendance will hear directly from site administrators, informatics leaders, and implementation specialists on the technology systems sites rely on like EHRs, CTMS, eRegulatory platforms, general ledgers, learning management systems, and more; as well as the workflows they rely on to connect them.

Co-Mentoring: The Circle of Success
Tuesday 2:00 pm - 2:50 pm ET
The circle is one of the first shapes we learn as a child and it continues to be a part of our life from the rings we wear to the wheels on cars to the Cycle of Life. Lesser known are our co-mentoring circles. Intuitively we all have the friend we go to when we need a crying session, the person on the job who proofs written communication like no one else, and the person we go to when we want brutal honesty. And we play a specific role or roles in others’ lives as well. In this session, Tiffany Danielle Chisholm Pineda from the University of Florida will share the success she has had using co-mentoring circles for research professionals. She will help you see how changing something you’ve been doing intuitively can be even more successful by doing it intentionally: take the wheel in creating, cultivating, and grooming your co-mentoring circle and use it to connect with people who will help you elevate and you can help elevate.

Now Hiring: Good Humans
Wednesday 3:00 pm - 3:50 pm ET
Leadership across AMCs has identified a need to strengthen the clinical research workforce and infrastructure to keep up with growing clinical research portfolios. Improving clinical research support allows AMCs to produce informative, high quality clinical research. There is little ability to improve healthcare if research is not well-performed. Besides a lack of trained researchers, systems, standard policies and procedures, competent staffing remains burdensome and costly. To address these barriers, AMCs need to build out a trustworthy, capable central clinical research support team and better define the role of the clinical research professional. The role of the clinical research professional has evolved greatly due to the evolving, high-paced clinical research landscape. There is a need to professionalize the clinical research workforce to continue to produce high quality research. We need to hire “good humans” who find this work meaningful. We need to recruit, hire, train and onboard in a supportive manner. Join us as we describe strategies and tactics to encourage professional development, career growth and prevent burnout.
