Is it possible to expand clinical trials into networks of community practices if they are given the structure, support, and training needed? The continued transformation of the clinical research enterprise, including a measured improvement in representation of a diverse population in clinical research, depends on a research-ready workforce at community-based clinical research sites that are ready to conduct clinical research responsibly.
With an educational sponsorship from Roche/Genentech, a team of collaborators from Genentech, the Association of Cancer Care Centers (ACCC), and ACRP united to study the impact of clinical research training at ACCC community cancer programs. Join the program leaders as they discuss the results of the impact of providing foundational and therapeutic area-specific clinical research training (oncology) at select ACCC community cancer programs to create a blueprint for training research-naïve oncology staff in the community setting. Included in the discussion are the results of a participant survey that report that learners believed the program improved their knowledge and confidence.
