During this Coffee Talk we’ll talk about those common pain points we all wish we could fix when working in clinical trials. The panelists will discuss some of these familiar scenarios and explore potential solutions that can help provide smoother clinical trial operations. Join us and share your own problem areas, and solutions!

The hand-off of a proposal that has been selected for funding from pre-award to post-award can make a research administrator feel like a wary tourist in the London tube surrounded by impatient commuters as a train approaches—they have to step from the platform (pre-award) into the waiting train car (post-award), crossing that chasm where the tracks (and potential compliance risks) lie—with the only advice being a shout of “mind the gap” in an unfamiliar accent. 

During this Coffee Talk, the panelists will provide their experience and perspectives on how they mind the gap—that is, how the transition from a funded proposal to an active award is implemented operationally at emerging research institutions (ERIs). The discussion will move beyond the basics of roles and responsibilities, systems, and documentation to examine the real-world approaches that our peers employ, and the reasons behind those choices. 

Join us to get a clearer understanding of ways to “mind the gap” between pre-award and post-award, as well as practical considerations for what might work for your institution and how to make it happen.

Research Administration is about adapting and changing processes and workflows to incorporate the next new policy change or software update. The transfer of institutional knowledge sometimes falls to the side when shifting to digital or a hybrid/remote work environment or as institutions deal with training a new workforce amid an influx of retirements. Where this unwritten knowledge was typically picked up through conversations, experience, and learning from others, it is now harder to pass along given these changes in the working environment.

Join us for this Coffee Talk as we discuss how podcasts can be incorporated as a new training opportunity, helping fill the gap left by those missed conversations.
