In February 2022, the Office of Research Support (ORS) launched a series of monthly meetings for Clinical Research Coordinators (CRC). These gatherings have since grown into the CRC Community Forum—a vibrant space designed to foster connection, collaboration, and professional growth among CRCs across the School of Nursing (SON).

The forum serves as a platform for sharing knowledge, addressing challenges, and exploring best practices across a wide range of research-related topics. Discussions have included everything from practical tips on processing participant payments to effective recruitment strategies and the evolving role of the research coordinator.

Meetings are held via Zoom on the last Tuesday of each month and are open to all interested CRCs. Following each session, presentation slides and video recordings are uploaded to this site, ensuring access for those unable to attend live.
