Description: We are delighted to announce a collaboration with Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium (CDISC) on the MRCT Center Clinical Research Glossary. This marks an important first step in making plain language a global clinical research standard. The MRCT Center Clinical Research Glossary was piloted in 2020 to test the process of creating a plain language glossary of commonly used clinical research terms that is freely available to everyone.
Please join us on April 5 from 11 AM – 12 PM ET for a joint webinar with the MRCT Center and CDISC. Learn about MRCT Center’s robust process of developing the plain language glossary, the CDISC public review, and how this collaboration will empower patients and participants with the necessary tools and information to make informed research decisions.
