TRIP SIG is a special interest group for anyone who has an interest in implementation science in the clinical trials sector.
Mission:
TRIP SIG’s mission is to enhance the translation of evidence from clinical trials into clinical practice in Australia.
Purpose:
TRIP SIG provides a support network and collaborative community for implementation science professionals in clinical trial teams, as well as other professionals interested in embedding implementation science methods and strategies in trials. It is a forum for members to share knowledge and expertise, identify issues, exchange information, and engage in collaborative problem-solving.
The group acts to:
- support the professional development needs of the clinical trial workforce to enhance the implementation science in trials capability of the sector.
- promote the importance of embedding implementation science into clinical trial design
- improve the quality of clinical trials and the translation of evidence into clinical practice, through promoting implementation science methodologies
Membership:
Membership of TRIP SIG is open to implementation science professionals in clinical trial teams and anyone else interested in implementation science in trials. Please email acta@acta.au if you would like to join.
National Needs Assessment Survey: Identifying the Implementation Science Research and Practice Training Needs of the Clinical Trial Workforce.
Why This Survey Matters
Clinical trials play a crucial role in healthcare by providing robust evidence on how we provide treatment to improve patient and practice outcomes. Yet it can take an average of 17 years to translate evidence generated from clinical trials into practice.
Building the clinical trial workforce capacity to embed implementation science methodologies, outcomes and strategies into clinical trial design and conduct may address some of the challenges of translating research into practice.
We aim to determine the Australian and New Zealand clinical trial workforce (including consumers working with trial teams) familiarity with and understanding of implementation science in clinical trial design and conduct, gauge interest in upskilling to implementation science and identify preferences for receiving training and barriers to access.
How You Can Help
As a member of the clinical trial workforce, your participation is invaluable in helping us understand the current landscape and training needs regarding implementation science. The insights gathered will inform future training and support initiatives to build capacity in this critical area.
Participation is voluntary, all online responses are anonymous, and it is estimated to take 10-15 minutes.
We encourage you to forward the link broadly across your own networks.
