Clinical Trial Staff
The CCRU is dedicated to supporting clinical trial staff across the region. Our goal is to enhance and sustain the research staff workforce through nurture and support of staff's professional development goals. As such, the CCRU has a commitment to:
- Recognize research staff as a valued and essential part of the organization
- Provide mentorship and guidance to the research team throughout the clinical research cycle
- Promote diversity and equality in all aspects of the recruitment and management of staff
- Ensure that staff are equipped and supported to be skilled and knowledgeable in an increasingly diverse and complex research environment
- Support training and education strategies aimed at enhancing understanding, knowledge, and skills in research and appropriate therapeutic area
- Enhance and streamline communication between the CCRU and research sites/staff
- Function as the primary contact and reference for clinical trial sites and personnel requesting support with resources, staffing, protocol, and/or sponsor issues
- Collaborate with multidisciplinary staff and services to ensure the safe and exemplary care of research patients
Consultation and Mentorship
CCRU provides the opportunity to have highly experienced clinical research mentors on and off-site to share their expertise with the research staff. Consultation will generally involve two areas:
- Obtaining information such as new SOPs, FDA regulations or guidance documents, and information regarding a therapeutic area or technology
- Requesting assistance with a process, such as audit preparation, responding to a Corrective Action and Preventive Action (CAPA), and fulfilling or improving performance or competency issues.
The staff requesting consultation or mentorship can call or e-mail Nanette Hock, the Regional Nurse Manager, directly. She will evaluate the request in order to find an appropriate mentor or match for the staff member's request.
