Gatekeeping Practices and the Evolving Clinical Research Coordinator Role

We will examine the evolution of the clinical research coordinator (CRC) role, focusing on the impacts of traditional job descriptions and requirements assigned to the role. We will also look at how the mindset resulting in a “gatekeeping” approach for hiring impacts potential new CRCs' interest in and recruitment/retention for the role. Comparing the traditional requirements of 2-3+ years experience in the field for CRC roles puts many qualified candidates out of the running when they have transferable skills. This panel will provide a collaborative platform for discussions and dialogue regarding past, present, and future practices, and responsibilities of the next generation of CRCs. A primary focus for this session will be examining the changing research landscape and encouraging reflection on the impacts of recent trends on sites/studies. Through panel members sharing experiences and attendees engaging throughout the session, participants will gain insights into the value of more inclusive hiring practices and strategies to promote diversity in the field.

Standardizing Single IRB Submissions for Relying Sites
Apr

9:15 AM09:15

Standardizing Single IRB Submissions for Relying Sites

When study teams at research sites join a multi-site study as a "relying site" under the watch of a single institutional review board (sIRB) for the overall study, they must go through several steps to prepare their submission to the sIRB for approval of their site. However, different relying sites do not always follow the same process for facilitating sIRB approval. This inconsistency makes it challenging for lead principal investigators and their lead study teams to efficiently coordinate site start-up approvals.  A standardized process would be very helpful, highlighting the need for harmonized workflows across sites. The goal of this session is to present a model site implementation process for relying site study teams to use to direct the process and harmonize it across sites. The model was developed in conjunction with study teams experienced in the sIRB process as lead and relying sites.

Data Strategies for Health Equity and Inclusion: Key European Trends

Data form the cornerstone of efforts to address health disparities and advance health equity across the globe. In the United States, Medicare and Medicaid collect and publicly disclose race, ethnicity, and socio-economic characteristics to address health disparities and identify underserved communities. In Europe, healthcare systems and policies vary significantly across countries. While some European countries collect similar data as in the U.S., other countries collect and share no or only limited data due to concerns about discrimination, individual privacy, or historical sensitivities. Despite the limitations, there is still a broad range of high-quality data which can be consolidated, standardized, and visualized to support streamlined diversity and site identification strategies. We’ll take a deep dive into the hurdles and complexities of diversity data collection and the efforts needed for standardization of data, explore the potential barriers and factors that explain the gaps in current data strategies, and discuss data-driven approaches for more diverse clinical research.

A Data-Driven Approach to Site Selection for Oncology Trials

National strategic policy in England is to expand the diversity of clinical trial participants, bringing research opportunities to communities most in need. Our hospital has worked to commission wide-ranging dataset visualizations, to pinpoint which specific areas of the country have the greatest disease burden, and so may be prime candidates for clinical trial site selection. We have integrated assessment of cancer incidence, prevalence, and mortality--in addition to demographic data--to create a data-driven approach to site identification and selection, rather than using more traditional performance metrics or simply prior experience and relationships. We aim for an England where no cancer patient is left behind without access to research, and where our clinical trials recruit rapidly to time and target whilst bringing immediate patient benefit to those most in need.

Spotlighting the Role of Health Equity in Clinical Trial Design

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention defines health equity as “the state in which everyone has a fair and just opportunity to achieve their highest level of health.” The clinical trials industry stands at a precipice, buffeted by community and regulatory calls for diversity action plans and headlines that highlight health disparity statistics. With great opportunity to innovate and streamline clinical trial processes that have historically and currently preclude diverse participation and representation, we are called to answer core questions related to the role of health equity in clinical trial design. Whether observational or experimental, the clinical trials industry must realign its “why” with and through community engagement by being responsive to participation barriers that intersect with multiple levels of challenges posed by social drivers of health and cultural norms.
