Mastering Collaborative Research Leadership
Recognizing the increasingly team-oriented nature of clinical investigation, the CCTS Training Academy has created the RISE Leadership Course to develop the scientific and organizational leaders of the future. Over 8-weeks and using a more immersive, experiential structure, RISE is designed primarily for clinical research staff professionals who wish to play more prominent leadership roles in the conduct of research.
In-Person Training, Thursdays (from January 23 to March 13, 2025), 1-3pm, SHEL 105
Learning Objectives
- Fundamental Concepts of Leadership - Project leadership and teamwork, delegation and accountability and Navigating circumstances with diplomacy
- Interpersonal Effectiveness - Emotional Intelligence, Communcations and Biases
- Trust Building - Critical conversations, Inclusive Intelligence and Conflict Management
- Building a Community of Practice - Clinical and Translational Science, Managing Up and Networking
Who should attend RISE?
The target audience for RISE includes (in order of priority) clinical research staff professionals at Career Ladder Levels 4, 3 and 2 (with more than 5 years of experience). Early-career faculty scholars (instructors, assistant professors) and postdoctoral fellows are also invited to apply.
Get Ready to Apply!
Candidates must submit an updated CV or resume and a completed application form to apply for this training. Additionally, applicants should consult their supervisor, as formal enrollment requires supervisor approval and pre-coursework completion.

Artificial intelligence (AI), informatics, and data science are revolutionizing research, enabling new discoveries, and driving collaboration across scientific disciplines. The "CCTS In Focus: AI, Informatics, and Data Science" campaign highlights the innovative tools, methodologies, and resources that are shaping the future of clinical and translational research. This campaign will explore how AI, informatics, and data science are transforming research processes, from study design to data analysis, across the CCTS Partner Network. Each feature will showcase cutting-edge research, promote resource sharing, and foster collaboration among researchers within the CCTS network. Through this campaign, we aim to enhance the visibility and utilization of CCTS resources to empower researchers at every stage of their projects.
Join us as we delve into the transformative potential of AI, informatics, and data science in advancing research and improving health outcomes. Subscribe to the weekly CCTS Digest to stay updated on this and other CCTS events.
What to Expect During Your First BERD Consultation
The CCTS Biostatistics, Epidemiology, and Research Design (BERD) team is a vital resource for researchers across the CCTS Partner Network. Comprising expert biostatisticians, epidemiologists, and methodologists, the BERD team supports investigators at every stage of research, from study design to data management and statistical analysis. Whether you are a seasoned researcher or just starting out, collaborating with BERD can significantly enhance the quality and rigor of your research.
CCTS expeDITIons: A Forum for Dissemination & Implementation Science

The OnCore clinical trial management system (CTMS) is a software application that helps research teams track protocols, subjects, study visits, and administrative activity through the life cycle of the protocol. The system provides critical reporting and analytical capabilities that delivers a real-time snapshot of study activity at the institution. OnCore includes a comprehensive suite of research modules that integrate components of research protocol activity.
To find grant writing samples, select from the types of grants below.
What does OnCore do?
When protocol, subject, financial, and billing data is entered into the system by the study team, there are downstream effects for a variety of units and systems.
OnCore at UAB
OnCore information aligns with the UAB Health System (UABHS) electronic health record and billing systems to enhance patient safety, improve research billing compliance, and provide important financial information to study teams and the institution.
