The Alliance for Multispecialty Research (AMR) has selected Advarra, a provider of clinical research technology, for its site training and engagement solution within Longboat as its in-house e-learning system, deploying it to site staff across 30+ research centers. AMR previously used Advarra’s solution for study-specific training provided by sponsors and decided that Advarra’s technology and engaging animated video content could enhance compliance, efficiency, and staff satisfaction. AMR decided to standardize on Advarra’s solution with the goal of enhancing the training experience for their staff to improve engagement, compliance, and study startup.
 
“AMR partners with the most innovative companies in the life sciences industry, and we pride ourselves on providing the most efficient site startup process,” said Nancy Cleverley, vice president of operations management for AMR. “Advarra’s solution makes training more efficient and engaging for our staff, which improves staff readiness, ensures compliance, and reduces delays. By streamlining the e-learning experience, what used to take two weeks for research personnel, now only takes a few hours, and we get to pass these efficiency gains on to the life sciences companies we support.”
  
“We are thrilled to support AMR with their initiative to provide a better training experience for their staff,” said Scott Uebele, chief operating officer at Advarra. “Our e-learning content creation and delivery team is one of the best in the industry. By providing learners with a streamlined program and engaging content, AMR can reduce their staff burden, improve training turnaround times, and accelerate study startup.”
 
AMR administrators can manage training compliance by assigning targeted, role-based programs for their staff that include trainings such as, human subjects protection, HIPAA privacy, ICH good clinical practice, study-specific participant recruitment, FDA clinical investigator inspections, and diversity, equity and inclusion in clinical trials. Administrators can also track training status and completion in real time. Additionally, the solution offers targeted support for essential study tasks to all key stakeholders – sites, study teams, and patients – from preparation, to activation, to study implementation.
 
As a fully validated 21 Part 11 CFR compliant solution, supported by Advarra’s team of clinical research e-learning experts, it is suited for rapid deployment, according to the company.
