Training and Education
The CTSI, in partnership with the Clinical Research Office, creates and shares educational content, holds instructional sessions, and connects investigators and research teams with useful resources.
Watch and Learn: Educational Modules
CTSI Watch and Learn educational module videos are designed to increase the knowledge and performance of clinical researchers at UB and its affiliated institutions. These 5- to 15-minute videos offer an overview and/or practical guidance on a wide variety of research-related topics – study development, study submission, study execution, and study tools and resources.
See CTSI Watch and Learn: Educational Modules.
Open Research Office
CTSI Open Research Office Zoom sessions feature topics that can aid those involved in the research process. Through these sessions, Clinical Research Facilitators collaborate with selected guest speakers on topics relevant to biomedical scientists and research coordinators. The sessions include opportunities for Q&A and open discussion and attendees are encouraged to bring their questions, concerns, and ideas.
