SUMMARY:Fostering collaboration with Health Metadata Commons
DESCRIPTION:Register\n  \nJoin us for an exciting discussion with Genome BC to learn how their Health Metadata Commons\, a centralized repository for health omics metadata\, empowers researchers to: \n\nDiscover available datasets\, samples and cohort of patients.\nMinimize research silos.\nMaximize the value and impact of existing research.\n\nIf you’re working in clinical research in BC\, don’t miss this chance to learn about the Health Metadata Commons\, hear about their recent collaboration with REACH BC and have your questions answered during our live Q&A. \nWe look forward to seeing you there! \nREACH BC is an initiative of Clinical Trials British Columbia. It is funded and supported by Michael Smith Health Research BC and the BC SUPPORT Unit\, which is funded under Canada’s Strategy for Patient Oriented Research (SPOR).  \n  \nLearning objectives:\n\nDemystifying Metadata: Understand what “data about data” is and why it is the essential ingredient for precision health.\nThe Power of Data Reuse: Learn how “secondary use” allows scientists to jumpstart new discoveries using existing information\, saving time and resources.\nBuilding a Connected Research Ecosystem: Discover how the Health Metadata Commons and REACH BC work together to break down provincial silos.\nAccelerating Health Solutions: See how centralized platforms make it easier for researchers to find patterns in “omics” data (like genomics) to improve patient care.\nFostering Collaboration: Gain insight into how sharing project descriptions and sample information leads to stronger partnerships across the scientific community.\n\n  \nHost:\n \nAlison Orth\, Director\nClinical Trials British Columbia \n  \nSpeakers:\nAnnaïck Carles\, Research and Innovation Manager\, Data Science\nGenome BC \n \n  \nDr. Zsuzsanna Hollander\, Interim Vice President\, Research and Innovation\nGenome BC

SUMMARY:World Health Organization Global Competency Framework
DESCRIPTION:Strengthening the capacity and capability of research teams is essential for conducting high-quality clinical trials in any setting. The Training in Tropical Diseases (TDR) Global Competency Framework for Clinical Research offers a modern\, adaptable structure that identifies the core competencies needed to successfully carry out clinical studies — regardless of team size\, geographic location\, research area\, or trial type. \nEndorsed by Health Canada and embedded within the World Health Organization’s best practice guidelines\, this global framework is a powerful tool for building sustainable research systems. It supports institutions and individuals in planning staffing needs\, designing educational and training programs\, and guiding career development across the clinical research workforce. \nJoin us to explore how this framework — and the suite of tools that support it — will help you modernize and strengthen your clinical research operations. Whether you’re aiming to expand your trial capabilities or enhance workforce development\, this session will provide valuable insights into building a competent\, agile\, and future-ready research team. \n  \nLearning objectives \n\nExplore the structure and key components of the TDR Global Competency Framework for Clinical Research\nLearn about the complementary tools associated with the framework\, including the dictionary grading system\nUnderstand the importance of professional certification and how programs like Clinical Research Professional Certification Program offered by Clinical Trials British Columbia support workforce development\n\n  \nHost\n \n  \n  \n  \nJean Smart\, Regulatory Affairs & Quality Officer\, Clinical Trials British Columbia
