Returning Summary Results to Participants: Lessons from the Research Community

October 27, 2026 @ 11:00 am – 12:00 pm

Virtual Event

Some research teams began returning summary-level study results to participants long before the NIH released its draft policy. This Health Literacy Month webinar asks three of them what they did, why, and what they learned in very different settings: community-based clinical studies, a complex platform trial still underway, and a population biobank in Italy designed to run for decades. The panel covers the practicalities of results return, and attendees will leave with concrete lessons they can apply to their own studies, even with limited resources.

Join Barbara Bierer, Faculty Director of the MRCT Center, and Sylvia Baedorf Kassis, MRCT Center Program Director, for a panel discussion with Lawrence Appel, C. David Molina Professor of Medicine, Epidemiology, and International Health at Johns Hopkins University; Abby Gregory, Program Manager, Scientific Publications, at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO); and Deborah Mascalzoni, Research Group Leader at the Institute for Biomedicine, Eurac Research, and Associate Professor of Biomedical Ethics at Uppsala University.

Joint Task Force for Clinical Trial Competency (JTF) Global Biannual Meeting

Meeting

December 1, 2026 @ 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm

The Joint Task Force for Clinical Trial Competency (JTF), anchored at the MRCT Center, develops and disseminates standards and practices for the global clinical research workforce. By fostering a cohesive and collaborative approach, the JTF ensures that professionals have the competencies to conduct clinical trials ethically and effectively.

Our international team of investigators, educators, and clinical research professionals has developed and/or utilizes a framework that defines the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary for conducting safe, ethical, and high-quality clinical research.

Join us on December 1, 2026, 1:00-3:00 PM for the Joint Task Force for Clinical Trial Competency (JTF) Biannual Global Meeting to hear about global perspectives on implementing the JTF Framework.
