Abstract
This session will explore innovative approaches to workforce development, including collaborative initiatives to develop and standardize core competencies for clinical research professionals. While many initiatives are bringing forth process and technology solutions to clinical development, less focus has been given to workforce development despite the persistence of FDA inspection findings, shortages in the workforce, and considerable variance in overall trial conduct. This session will outline the changing roles and responsibilities of CRAs and CRCs, and ACRP-led, collaborative initiatives to define competence standards for professionals conducting monitoring and study conduct activities.
