We believe clinical research education works best when people learn together—not in silos. This free, virtual course is designed to provide cancer-focused clinicians, researchers, trainees, and staff from around the world with key information to advance a program of clinical research, foster better clinical trial design, and ultimately improve patient care. Participants will learn basic research concepts and principles that underlie the design and day-to-day conduct of cancer clinical trials.

Course goals are to:

• Discuss the full spectrum of challenges and opportunities in clinical cancer research
• Facilitate collaborations and diverse networks among workshop participants, representing all members of the clinical research team
• Introduce principles of good trial design and provide guidance on the development of clinical trial protocols
• Prepare future leaders in clinically focused cancer research.

Highlights include:

• A pre-course primer, Fundamentals of Clinical Research: From Protocol to Practice;
• Multiple weeks of concurrent sessions, including AI in clinical research and community engagement in clinical research
• Distinct sessions nurses and advanced practice providers, in partnership with the Oncology Nursing Society, and clinical research professionals
• A post-course workshop led by faculty from the Miami Herbert School of Business, AI in Clinical Research: A Leader’s Guide to Strategy and Governance (paid add-on)
