Good Clinical Practice (GCP) in Research at an Academic Research Institution

October 19, 2015 3:00 pm to 4:30 pm
BWH, Ramzi Cotran Conference Center, 75 Francis Street

Good Clinical Practice (GCP) is an international, ethical, and scientific quality standard for designing, conducting, recording and reporting human subjects research. GCP guidelines define the roles and responsibilities of the IRB, investigator and sponsor throughout the clinical trial and also describe the essential documents needed for the conduct of a clinical trial. Compliance with GCP ensures that the rights, safety and welfare of subjects is protected and that the data produced by the research is credible. After completing this training, participants will have a comprehensive understanding of FDA Good Clinical Practices and will be able to apply those practices to the conduct of clinical research.
