It is essential to have comprehensive and standardized training requirements to ensure understanding of the regulations governing clinical research. These trainings include protection of human subjects, Good Clinical Practice (GCP), Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) privacy and security, and laboratory safety training for handling of biological specimens.
