Since 2016, the Institute for Clinical and Translational Science has been offering the Academy for Research Professionals three times a year to educate research coordinators and other staff about clinical research at the University of Iowa.

The workshop has been conducted both in-person and online, providing a basic framework of the roles and responsibilities of the research coordinator, the regulatory policy requirements for appropriate conduct of clinical research at the University of Iowa, and tools to assist coordinators to successfully perform their role.
