The Joint Task Force for Clinical Trial Competency (JTF) was formed and the first face-to-face meeting was hosted by the Multi-Regional Clinical Trials Center of Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard (MRCT Center) bringing together representatives from academic institutions, pharmaceutical companies, contract research organizations (CROs), clinical research sites, and professional societies.
The JTF established the goal of creating a universally applicable, globally relevant competency framework for the clinical research enterprise.
