Pan-Canadian Consortium: Accelerating Clinical Trials
ACT and CANTRAIN are joining forces to reshape Canada’s clinical trials landscape. One focuses on streamlining administrative processes and promoting greater inclusion in research, while the other designs innovative training programs to build clinical trial competencies across the country. Together, they foster a unified and collaborative environment that supports efficiency, equity, and innovation in clinical trial training and implementation.
Allied Clinical Trials Training Platforms
CANTRAIN actively supports the specialized training platforms of HDRN Pragmatic Clinical Trials, CANSTAT, and IMPaCT. Each enriches its clinical trials training ecosystem by contributing targeted expertise, from pragmatic trial methodologies to advanced statistical competencies and research focused on maternal and pediatric populations. This complementarity enables CANTRAIN to deliver comprehensive, inclusive training tailored to the diverse needs of Canada’s clinical research sector.
