Join us on Sept. 9 for the Clinical Research Professional Training Series to learn more about Recruitment and Retention services available to PI’s and their study teams at The Ohio State University (OSU) and Nationwide Children's Hospital (NCH).
Recruitment and Retention can help design those first touchpoints with the community and share best practices to help researchers achieve their clinical trial goals. Learn how requesting a consultation with Recruitment and Retention Services early in the design of a research study can help to reduce the burden of participant enrollment, which can often be more challenging than expected. We will be discussing methods about best practices to engage individuals with clinical trials by talking about vital tools that are proven to be successful in study recruitment.
Topic: Best Practices for Recruitment and Retention in Clinical Trials
Presenter: Mary Becker, Center for Clinical and Translational Science
When: Sept. 9, 2021 9:00-10:00am EST
