In 2014, the Joint Task Force for Clinical Trial Competency developed\u00a0<\/strong>the\u00a0Core Competency Framework for clinical research professionals.\u00a0 <\/strong>It was intended to align clinical researchers worldwide around a single, comprehensive set of competencies for the profession. The Joint Task Force worked to incorporate the priorities and necessities of organizations across the clinical research community in order to make the Framework as inclusive as possible.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]In 2018, recognizing that the clinical research enterprise was a dynamic and continually evolving profession, the JTF updated the Framework in order to recognize the increase in competency which occurs as individuals gain experience in the conduct of clinical trials.\u00a0 Each competency was expressed at the Basic, Skilled and Advanced level.<\/p>\n

In 2019, JTF responded to comments from the clinical research community that the Framework should include competencies related to clinical project management as well as recognize the need to integrate technology-related enhancements to the competencies required for the conduct of clinical research.\u00a0 Global workgroups were created that developed competencies in these areas.\u00a0 The proposed modifications were vetted by the JTF and stakeholders and the updated version 3.1 is presented here.<\/p>\n

From 2020-2025 the JTF has focused on expanding its impact globally.\u00a0 New collaborations with the National Center for Global Health and Medicine in Japan and CANTRAIN in Canada along with translations of the Framework into 12 different languages has facilitated this expansion.\u00a0 Biannual virtual meetings of the JTF have significantly expanded individual participation in JTF activities which has led to new initiatives such as the updating of Domain 6 (Data Management and Informatics), and co-developing competencies relating to patient\/advocate involvement.<\/p>\n

The Framework was developed and updated \u00a0in a multi-stage process that involved:<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1586458258565{border-top-width: 1px !important;border-right-width: 1px !important;border-bottom-width: 1px !important;border-left-width: 1px !important;border-left-color: #adadad !important;border-left-style: solid !important;border-right-color: #adadad !important;border-right-style: solid !important;border-top-color: #adadad !important;border-top-style: solid !important;border-bottom-color: #adadad !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”1436″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text] Identifying competency statements<\/strong> and competency domains in publications, presentations, and training resources.<\/p>\n
