The Association of Clinical Research Professionals (ACRP) developed the ACRP Entry-Level Clinical Research Coordinator (CRC) Competency Development and Assessment Roadmap to standardize and facilitate the onboarding, training, and development of new CRCs. This roadmap enables greater consistency in expectations, career guidance, and performance quality of CRCs. Download the document on the ACRP website. 

In March 2022, HANC hosted a two-part webinar series exploring the regulatory foundations and implementation of electronic informed consent in clinical trials. Webinar recordings and slides from the sessions can be found below and on the HANC Webinars & Presentations page:

• eConsent 101: Regulatory Foundations Recording / Slides. Presenters: Linda Ehler, DAIDS OPCRO ProPEP; Jui Shah, DAIDS OPCRO ProPEP; and Jose Pablo Morales, US Food and Drug Administration.
• eConsent in Practice: Perspectives from Sites Recording / Slides / Extended Q&A. Presenters: Chris Jonsson, University of Washington AIDS Clinical Trials Unit; Fatima Mayat, Perinatal HIV Research Unit; Rita Sondengam, Bronx Prevention Center CRS. 

The guidelines are intended to identify significant financial interests of network-affiliated researchers and avoid conflicts of interest, or the appearance of such conflicts, in activities of the networks. Network Leaders approved the guidelines on the April 2010 Network Leaders call and the document has been adopted as standard operating procedure for all networks effective April 15, 2010.
