Description
collapse Training Topic : Biostatistics ‎(1)
Introduction to Biostatistics
Introduction to Biostatistics provides an introduction to selected important topics in biostatistical concepts and reasoning through lectures, exercises, and bulletin board discussions. This course represents an introduction to the field and provides a survey of data and data types. Specific topics include tools for describing central tendency and variability
in data; methods for performing inference on population means and proportions via sample data; statistical hypothesis testing and its application to group comparisons; issues of power and sample size in study designs; and random sample and other study types. While there are some formulae and computational elements to the course, the emphasis is on interpretation and concepts.
collapse Training Topic : Community ‎(2)
Research Ethics Training Curriculum for Community Representatives
FHI's Office of International Research Ethics (OIRE) has developed a dynamic and innovative curriculum to empower community representatives through training and education to act as a competent voice for research participants worldwide. Developed and field-tested in eight countries, the Research Ethics Training Curriculum for Community Representatives (RETC-CR) helps community representatives to understand the research process and their roles and responsibilities as partners of the research team. The Curriculum also explains the corresponding roles and responsibilities of Ethics Committees/IRBs and Researchers. The RETC-CR addresses universal principles of research ethics, informed consent, ethics committees and other important issues.  The RETC-CR was recipient of The 2005 Distinguished Award of the Society for Technical Communication.
Understanding the clinical research process and principles of clinical research and The role of a CAB and principles of community involvement
The Community Partners Training Working Group (CTWG) created a set of standardized, high quality CAB training materials for cross-network use. Community Partners (CP) agreed on a selection of specific cross-network training topics as priorities and reviewed the existing training materials to develop a cross-network trainer’s guide and training module on the topics of Understanding the clinical research process and principles of clinical research and The role of a CAB and principles of community involvement.

collapse Training Topic : DAIDS-ES Applications ‎(3)
Clinical Site Monitoring (CSM)
Clinical Site Monitoring provides DAIDS with a unified system that serves as the official information source for clinical site monitoring activities.  It is used by DAIDS personnel and collaborators involved in monitoring DAIDS clinical trials.  Its tools, which are on the new paradigm for CSM set forth by DAIDS, were implemented to enhance and improve the scheduling, conduct, and reporting of information related to clinical site monitoring visits.  Specifically, the tools are designed to identify and track monitoring visit schedules and assignment requests, and help resolve issues identified during site visits.
DAIDS Adverse Experience Reporting System (DAERS)
DAERS enables DAIDS and its collaborators to report Expedited Adverse Events (EAEs) effectively, in accordance with the safety reporting guidelines set forth by DAIDS, FDA and ICH in the conduct of human subject clinical trials. DAERS is a Web-based system that supports real-time reporting of and access to EAEs.  This component ensures accuracy of its data capture by using built-in data validation checks and lists of values.  It is designed to support therapeutic, vaccine, and prevention EAE reporting.  
DAIDS Protocol Registration System (DPRS)
The DPRS provides DAIDS with a unified centralized system that will serve as the official information source for Protocol Registration activities involving registering a Clinical Research Site (CRS) to a protocol.  DPRS provides the CRSs tools to electronically submit protocol registration documents to the DAIDS Protocol Registration Office (PRO), track and monitor progress of their submission, provide corrections, and respond to materials, receipt alerts, reminders and notifications.  DPRS also provides Web services to DAIDS collaborators for interacting with the system and receive Protocol Registration information.
