Battle Bias & Build Trust: How to Increase Transparency in Clinical Research

Who Should Attend

This course is open to students, principal investigators, clinicians, project managers, research coordinators, and anyone interested in clinical research.

Course Description

Only about half of clinical trials run globally have ever been publicly registered and reported. This finding was confirmed by NEJM’s Anderson et al., 2015, where Dr. Robert Califf, our FDA commissioner, reported that only 13% of clinical trials comply with the FDAAA 2007. This causes bias in the medical literature, which undermines both medicine and research. When the media reports on this lack of transparency in medical research, we risk losing the trust of patients and the public.

This workshop:

• Describes the current state of clinical trial transparency in the US, including relevant policies
• Outlines concrete steps for investigators and academic leaders to increase transparency in their research and at their institution
• Introduces strategies and resources for raising awareness and overcoming barriers to transparency
• Identifies opportunities for investigators to advocate for transparency through training and support from AllTrials USA

Instructor

April Clyburne-Sherin, trained Epidemiologist & Methodologist, Campaign Manager for AllTrials USA at Sense About Science USA, working to advance research transparency through advocacy and training.
