What You'll Learn

Key competencies developed through this program

Auto-populated·from NSX Competency Framework

Mastery: developing (Level 2)(based on Associate's Degree)

  • Clinical database structures — design and configure with reduced oversight using validated database user interface and query software for mid-sized trial protocols.
  • Data validation logic checks — develop and test independently to identify entry errors across assigned study databases in a GCP-compliant environment.
  • Data queries — generate and manage in response to validation failures, resolving discrepancies by coordinating directly with clinical site staff.
  • Project-specific data management plans — draft covering coding conventions, data transfer schedules, and database lock procedures for single-protocol studies.
  • Routine data quality metrics — monitor and report to detect deviations from standard operating procedures across ongoing data management activities.
  • Custom data collection forms — design and refine to support efficient receipt, processing, and tracking of clinical data across assigned trials.
  • Analytical and categorization software — apply to prepare formatted data sets meeting sponsor or regulatory formatting requirements with minimal direction.
  • Database lock workflows — coordinate within a study team to ensure timely completion of data cleaning and readiness for statistical analysis.
  • Performance and progress reports — prepare independently by querying databases and summarizing data entry productivity metrics for project managers.
  • Time management and task prioritization — exercise routinely to balance simultaneous data management responsibilities across multiple active study protocols.
