Research coordinators are critical members of clinical research teams. However, they may come from backgrounds which may not include specific training in healthcare. Their clinical research training has often been hands-on and experiential, which carries the risk of significant inconsistencies and deficiencies. Having a well-trained research coordinator workforce is essential to grow and expand clinical research. To address this need at the University at Buffalo and its clinical affiliates, the UB Clinical Research Office (CRO) and the UB Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) have developed the following training program for individuals who are newly minted research coordinators or those aspiring to become research coordinators.
