Research assistants, clinical research coordinators, and other clinical research professionals are often the study team members with whom participants (and potential participants) interact the most when joining or learning about a research study, throughout their participation, and whenever they have questions. During the recruitment and consent process, as well as during the study, participants should be supported with clear explanations of what specific clinical research terms mean.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n To that end, The Multi-Regional Clinical Trials Center (<\/span>MRCT Center<\/span><\/a>) of Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital and Harvard has introduced the <\/span>Clinical Research Glossary (CRG)<\/span><\/a>, which offers plain language definitions along with additional contextual information that research professionals can use to empower participants and their families.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n The availability of these definitions for all sites and sponsors to use allows for a harmonized approach across the research ecosystem, increasing the likelihood of consistency in terminology across the study life cycle itself, and even between studies. This supports participants <\/span>and<\/span><\/i> the research enterprise, countering research misinformation and increasing researcher trustworthiness.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n Some key facts about the MRCT Center\u2019s Clinical Research Glossary:<\/span><\/p>\n This tool can be implemented in various ways:<\/span><\/p>\n As long as <\/span>the Creative Commons license<\/span><\/a> is followed, anyone can reuse the content and graphics.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n While we welcome all participation, we are especially grateful for the perspective of research professionals with direct, frequent participant engagement. Specifically, please <\/span>share with us<\/span><\/a> terms that need to be clarified or added to the CRG.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n What Makes the MRCT Center\u2019s Clinical Research Glossary Different<\/span><\/b> <\/span><\/p>\n All words and definitions undergo a rigorous <\/span>Public Review process governed by CDISC<\/span><\/a>, ensuring that the CRG is a global standard.
