Introduction to the new ClinicalTrials.gov service line at UW
October 23, 1:00-2:00, HSLC 1335
UW has introduced a free CT.gov service line to assist study teams with registration, maintenance and result reporting to CT.gov. This service line was introduced in December 2018 to bring non-compliant CT.gov records into compliance and to maintain record compliance going forward. Possible topics for the session include: history of ClinicalTrials.gov, reasons to register to this public database, and dynamic ClinicalTrials.gov record: maintenance and results reporting.
Recruitment: Building Trust Between Minorities and Researchers
November 12, 12:00-1:00, HSLC 1345
This presentation will serve as an introduction to the basic concepts in the Building Trust curriculum: Culturally Confident Engagement for Translational Research. The curriculum was designed to strengthen the capacity of researchers, health professionals and IRB members to effectively recruit and retain minority participants in research. Participants respond to trigger films, discuss complex ethical issues, and practice skills for enhancing recruitment, retention, informed consent, and the development of community partnerships. Unique features include: (1) a formative exploration of how past research abuses contribute to a legacy of mistrust today; (2) tools useful for opening the dialogue about sensitive topics such as race, racism and discrimination; (3) information on how and why to build community relationships; and (4) an extensive look at how to reform the informed consent process.
Capacity to Consent Considerations in Research
December 5, 1:00-2:00, HSLC 1335
This course will cover regulatory and practical considerations when working with individuals lacking capacity to consent. The presenters will cover issues such as assessing/recognizing lack of capacity, working with legally authorized representatives, and temporary versus permanent lack of capacity. Throughout the presentation, presenters will describe best practices and share real life examples.
