  2. Develop realistic expectations regarding the timeline and effort required to fund clinical trials through shared examples

  3. Understand different strategies when approaching industry and academic funders and identify key factors for successful proposals

Webinar objectives:

  1. Understand the significance of diversity, equity, and inclusion (EDI) in clinical trial teams and management practices, and how these elements contribute to improved research outcomes and participant experiences

  2. Learn effective strategies for fostering a culture of inclusion within clinical trial teams, including communication techniques, conflict resolution approaches, and decision-making processes that prioritize diverse perspectives

  3. Gain practical knowledge on implementing EDI principles when developing teams and clinical trials processes,with a focus on promoting fairness, accessibility, and representation across all phases of research

Webinar objectives:
Introduce effectiveness-hybrid designs, showcase examples, and outline important considerations for conducting these types of studies. It will also briefly summarize tensions that may occur in conducting implementation research and mention tools to support implementation planning and execution.

Webinar objectives:

We will explore best practice guidelines for researchers to build more equitable, reflective, and inclusive research and clinical trials with respect to gender and sex. We will touch briefly on a variety of topics including, participant eligibility, recruitment, sampling plans and data analysis, measurement of genders and sexes, responsiveness across time, and working with validated scales. The objective is to stimulate critical thought about effective integration of sex and gender in research and clinical trials and to offer some key resources for continued learning.

  2. Discuss how research findings in homogeneous populations are not generalizable to all children

  3. Describe research approaches that can improve diversity and inclusion in pediatric clinical trials

Webinar objectives:

  1. Describe the challenges in generating high quality evidence about treatments for rare diseases

  2. Summarize some of the strategies proposed to address these challenges, emphasizing the potential value of patient registries

  3. Describe the features of registry-based randomized clinical trials and discuss the scientific and practical challenges associated with such trials

  4. Summarize current guidance and emerging developments in designing and improving rare disease registries to support clinical trials

Webinar objectives:

  1. Define patient/youth/family engagement as it applies to clinical trials

  2. List three reasons why engaging patient/youth/family partners may be valuable to your clinical trials research

  3. Discuss some tools and approaches to engage patient/youth/family partners with your clinical trials team
