May 31 - June 1, 2006
The National Leadership Forum was held on May 31 and June 1, 2006 in Rockville, MD. During the Forum methods and findings were presented from the NIH Roadmap-sponsored Inventory and Evaluation of Clinical Research Networks (IECRN) Descriptive Survey and Best Practices Study.* Presentations focused on key domains of clinical research networks: Management and Governance; Operations; Information Technology; Data Management; Financial Practices; Recruitment and Retention; and Training and Professional Development. The IECRN study reports can be found on the page.
Slides, webcast recordings, and transcripts of the presentations as well as reports from the breakout sessions can be found on the page. The Forum also included information technology demonstrations and a poster session. Abstracts from these sessions can be found on the page.
The goals of the National Leadership Forum include the following:
- Present a broad range of clinical research network (CRN) stakeholders with a descriptive overview of current trends within US and international clinical research networks.
- Present and critically discuss selected candidate clinical research network best practices with potential for exportability and offer recommendations that may be useful to established CRNs and/or helpful to new networks.
- Promote interactivity amongclinical research networks on issues related to network functioning in key domains and the achievement of critical outcomes.
- Provide a springboard for ongoing dissemination of information and future planning that will encourage the growth of cooperation and collaboration within the CRN community.
Thank you to everyone who was able to join us at the Forum. Please email us at Help@ClinicalResearchNetworks.org with any questions or comments regarding the IECRN study, the reports, or the National Leadership Forum.
