Informational Programs for Site Staff Conducting Clinical Research
In 2015, a Site Qualification and Training (SQT) taskforce developed a series of video modules to outline the basic components related to Principal Investigator oversight of clinical trials and the foundational concepts of Clinical Research in accordance with the ICH Guideline for Good Clinical Practice. These modules allow site staff with less experience to become more familiar with conducting clinical research. Following the public release of these modules, TransCelerate partnered with the Society for Clinical Research Sites (SCRS) to promote and maintain modules. In 2020, TransCelerate transitioned ownership of the modules to SCRS for continued promotion and governance. Today, SCRS continues to share these modules with the public at no monetary cost.
