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

Meeting

June 22, 2026 @ 9:00 am 11:00 am

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 June 22, 2026, 9:00-11:00 AM ET for the Joint Task Force for Clinical Trial Competency (JTF) Biannual Global Meeting. This meeting will focus on two recent proposed revisions to the JTF Framework: the JTF-Patient Partner Project and an update to Domain 6. We will hear about the proposed updates, discuss them with users of the JTF Framework, and gather input on any further updates needed.

All registrants will receive slides and a meeting summary after the meeting. This event is free.
