8 Week Online Tutorial
NCURA is proud to offer our online tutorial on clinical trials management. Learn at your our pace! Choose the start date that works best for you to begin your access. You will have 8 weeks to complete the lessons and 30 question multiple-choice final exam at your own pace - ALL lessons and the final exam are available from the start.
We have developed a thorough overview of this complex process. As a primer it is intended for those new to clinical trials, or who have had very limited exposure. The course will focus on key administrative, financial, and regulatory issues that arise in planning, funding, conducting, and closing-out clinical trials. You will not become an expert in every aspect of clinical trials but you will become knowledgeable about many facets of the clinical trial process. Participants will learn about:
- Clinical trials as a subset of human subject research
- The unique regulatory environment for clinical trials
- The basic elements of a clinical trial
- Developing and managing a clinical trial budget and expenditures
- Key negotiation issues that often arise in a clinical trial agreement
- The roles and responsibilities played by institution and sponsor staff’s in the creation and management of clinical trials.
- Close-out of clinical trials
The tutorial will offer interactive learning activities as well as knowledge reviews for each lesson. The course will end with a 30 question multiple-choice final exam, and offers a downloadable certificate of completion for those who successfully pass the final exam (80% or higher). If you do not successfully pass the final you have the option to retake the exam during your enrollment period. Students should expect to spend approximately 1-2 hours per lesson on the course material.
The course will include a case study with each lesson. This will help the students put the material into context. Lessons include: Lesson 1: Introduction to Human Subjects Research Lesson 2: Getting a Clinical Trial Started Lesson 3: Financial Issues Lesson 4: Contracts and Agreements Lesson 5: Operations Lesson 6: Close out and Audit Final Exam
