Course description

Designed for clinicians and clinician-scientists in both the United States and abroad, our Global Clinical Scholars Research Training program aims to  enable scholars to expand their knowledge and sharpen their skills in clinical research . Using a blended learning model that incorporates online tools, in-person seminars and dynamic workshops, the curriculum is focused on enhancing your ability at every stage of the research process–from writing grant proposals and launching new projects to analyzing data and presenting your results. 

This program combines online learning with three intensive workshops that are designed to offer a mix of traditional and innovative approaches. Each month, you will participate in five to six interactive webinars – including review sessions by faculty and special seminars from leading experts–and also have access to more than 85 prerecorded online lectures. Both concentrations of Advanced Epidemiology or Clinical Trials require scholars to take the foundation courses and their choice of elective courses, in addition to a capstone project.

Participants will be eligible for Associate Alumni status upon successful completion of the program. Early tuition and need-based tuition reductions may be available.

Innovative Approach of Using EHR Data to Improve the Speed, Efficiency, Quality and Costs of Conducting Clinical Trials

This webinar describes how a research site’s electronic health record (EHR) data can be used to precisely identify potential subjects from its patient population, thus reducing recruitment and screening efforts and accelerating time to completion of enrollment. Involved are the use of eConsent to enroll patients from their homes, the collection and use of relevant real-world data extracted from the EHR in ways that eliminate certain study visits and manual data entry, and the use of eSource for cutting the need for source data verification.

Diversity of Research Personnel: Knowing Who We Are to Know Who We Serve

This webinar highlights how lack of diversity in the recruitment of study subjects impacts the generalizability of research findings, and how evaluating diversity among your research team members will inform study design and recruitment strategies. In turn, this will increase diversity among recruited subjects and make research findings more broadly applicable to wider populations.

• Program Overview

The SOCRA Certified Clinical Research Professional (CCRP) program is your gateway to excellence in clinical research. Elevate your career with our internationally recognized certification, tailored for professionals dedicated to upholding the highest standards in the field. Join a community committed to ethical practices, continuous learning, and advancing global health. 

The Society of Clinical Research Associates (SOCRA) established the Certification Program for Clinical Research Professionals in order to create an internationally accepted standard of knowledge, education, and experience by which clinical research professionals will be recognized by the clinical research community. Those individuals so recognized may use the "Certified Clinical Research Professional" or "CCRP ®  " designation.

Path to Certification

CCRP certification is awarded upon meeting two criteria: a successful written application and a passing CCRP examination score. The benefits of obtaining certification are numerous. It not only validates knowledge, skills, and abilities but also enhances credibility and peer recognition. Career advancement and increased earning potential become tangible outcomes, reflecting a commitment to standards, compliance, and integrity.

Scope and Standards of Practice 

The standards upon which this certification program is based have been set forth by SOCRA to promote recognition and continuing excellence in the ethical conduct of clinical trials.  It is the goal of SOCRA to encourage members, and assure the competency of certified members, in their knowledge, understanding, and application of the conduct of clinical investigations involving humans in accordance with the ICH Guidelines, the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, and the ethical principles that guide clinical research. Members are expected to adhere to national, state, local and provincial regulations and to international guidelines published by the International Conference for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) and all applicable federal, state and local laws and policies.  

Standards of Practice include an understanding of and application of basic concepts of Good Clinical (Research) Practice, including:

• The Nuremberg Code
• The Belmont Report
• The Declaration of Helsinki
• 21 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations – Parts 11, 50, 56, 312, 812
• 45 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations - Part 46
• ICH Harmonised Guideline for Good Clinical Practice E6(R2), and
• ICH Clinical Safety Data Management: Definitions and Standards for Expedited Reporting (E2A)
• 42 CFR Part 11 (ClinicalTrials.gov) 

Certification Exam

The SOCRA Certification Examination is offered in two formats: paper and pencil (at SOCRA sponsored sites), and computer based (at Prometric testing centers or through Home Proctoring).

WGS 84 coordinate reference system is the latest revision of the World Geodetic System, which is used in mapping and navigation, including GPS satellite navigation system (the Global Positioning System).

Geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) define a position on the Earth’s surface. Coordinates are angular units. The canonical form of latitude and longitude representation uses degrees (°), minutes (′), and seconds (″). GPS systems widely use coordinates in degrees and decimal minutes, or in decimal degrees.

Latitude varies from −90° to 90°. The latitude of the Equator is 0°; the latitude of the South Pole is −90°; the latitude of the North Pole is 90°. Positive latitude values correspond to the geographic locations north of the Equator (abbrev. N). Negative latitude values correspond to the geographic locations south of the Equator (abbrev. S).

Longitude is counted from the prime meridian ( IERS Reference Meridian for WGS 84) and varies from −180° to 180°. Positive longitude values correspond to the geographic locations east of the prime meridian (abbrev. E). Negative longitude values correspond to the geographic locations west of the prime meridian (abbrev. W).

UTM or Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate system divides the Earth’s surface into 60 longitudinal zones. The coordinates of a location within each zone are defined as a planar coordinate pair related to the intersection of the equator and the zone’s central meridian, and measured in meters.

Elevation above sea level is a measure of a geographic location’s height. We are using the global digital elevation model GTOPO30 .
