The overall purpose of the Centralized Education and Training Services (CETS) Shared Resource is to enhance the quality of clinical cancer research through the education and training of cancer research professionals practicing at The Cancer Institute of New Jersey (CINJ) and throughout the CINJ clinical research centers of the CINJ Oncology Group. CETS develops curricula and provides educational opportunities designed to facilitate the development and maintenance of knowledge and skills that enable research professionals to deliver high quality services to patients participating in clinical trials. Included in these activities is an initial skills training, a continuing education program for clinical research staff, ongoing education regarding compliance and regulatory issues, and the provision of protocol-specific educational opportunities. This Shared Resource is strategically important because it provides a continual source of well-qualified research professionals who support the center’s core mission of highly innovative, high quality translational discovery.

The specific goals of this shared resource are:

  • To design, develop, and implement educational programs to train new research professionals

  • To meet the ongoing learning needs of research professionals practicing in a dynamic environment

  • To educate research professionals about new regulatory and compliance information, and disseminate this information rapidly

  • To prepare research professionals for specific requirements in individual protocols
