CREATE is a new training program designed to strengthen collaboration between Principal Investigators (PIs) and Clinical Research Professionals (CRPs). By learning each other’s roles and responsibilities, research teams will build mutual accountability and improve project outcomes.

The course reinforces core team science competencies across five key domains:

  • Facilitating Team Affect
    Build trust, empathy, and rapport across team members.

  • Team Communication
    Share and integrate ideas across disciplines and stakeholders.

  • Managing Team Research
    Coordinate multi-site projects and overcome regulatory hurdles.

  • Collaborative Problem Solving
    Align diverse expertise to solve complex research challenges.

  • Team Leadership
    Inspire cross-disciplinary thinking and inclusive decision-making.

Who Should Attend:
CREATE is intended for PI–CRP pairs who have completed either CITP or RTP.

Format:
The pilot program launches June 2025 and includes five 1.5–2 hour interactive sessions.
