The two-year Robert A. Winn Excellence in Clinical Trials: Community-oriented Clinical Trialist Training (Winn COCT Training) will be delivered in a variety of formats (e.g., didactic lectures, practical workshops, expert panels, and roundtable community discussions). Additionally, it will provide comprehensive training in clinical research design, funding, and implementation, and in community engagement methods and strategies. An intensive 4.5 day training in clinical research, designed and hosted by the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR), will precede and set the foundation for the Winn COCT Training.
