The ITHS COBALT curriculum is designed to help supplement the learning and development needs for new and seasoned clinical research coordinators involved in academic and industry-sponsored research. The curriculum features a breadth of topics in various formats - recorded presentations and e-modules and is tied to the eight core competency domains developed by the Joint Task Force (JTF).

You can learn more about the task force and framework here, JTF Competency Framework. Below is a PDF of the JTF Core Competency Framework for Clinical Research Professionals for you to have as a resource.
