On February 15, 2013, the MRCT PI Training and Competence Working Group hosted a half-day focus group collaboration meeting at the Harvard Global Health Institute with Ingrid Klingmann (IMI/Pharmatrain), Bob O’Neill (FDA), Greg Koski (ACRES), Honorio Silva (ACRES) and Jason Nyrop (Deloitte) and Rohin Rajan (Deloitte). The objectives of the meeting included:
- Discuss in-flight, planned initiatives and strategic approaches in PI training and standards
- Discuss how the groups might collaborate towards a single set of standards for PI competency
- Lay out a roadmap in this area for our groups to avoid duplication of efforts, maximize efficiencies and promote collaboration
