Once a clinical researcher meets the basic education requirements, professional development is often left to the discretion of the individual or their institution. In an effort to create a coordinated solution to close this educational gap, interactive training focused on enabling investigators to enhance knowledge of research ethics, quality standards, and regulations, and apply best practice principles throughout the complex life-cycle of research studies, has been utilized. This session will explore challenges in meeting the educational needs of a diverse team of clinical research team members. During this session, speakers and attendees will:

Learning Objectives:

• Identify and describe how to utilize research-related competencies in the design of research team education
• Share best practices for research team member training
• Discuss strategies of engaging study team members in training design and implementation
• Describe how to assess, implement, and evaluate training for research investigators and teams
