We’re looking for research coordinators to present on topics that will enhance the professional development and research practices of their peers. Our audience is junior and senior level research coordinators, and the theme for NED 2020 is “Study Coordinator Leadership: From Theory to Action.”
We are looking for speakers on the following topics:
- How to Talk to Your PI about Good Clinical Practices: Non-compliance, guidelines, or inappropriate issues — Within this session we would like you to discuss strategies for how research coordinators can engage their PIs in discussions about good clinical practices around issues like compliance, guidelines, and how to address inappropriate issues or adverse events. This will be offered as breakout session with one specific to junior-level coordinators and one specific to senior level coordinators.
- Ensure a Successful Trial: How to do a Start Up Timeline and Feasibility Assessment for your PI — Within this session we would like you to address elements of study start up and feasibility assessments for a clinical trial, including lessons learned from unanticipated challenges or mistakes, along the lines of “When this mistake was made, this is what we learned from the situation.”
