Development of Clinical Research Management: Enhancement of Nursing Students' Clinical Competency in Handling Clinical Trials

<p class="abstract">Various for-profit as well as not-for-profit organizations offer educational opportunities for project managers. Often, these are generic (not industry-specific) as the goal is to attract a wide audience of students. Examples include Six Sigma and the Project Management Professional ® program. Although students may be granted an opportunity to research their own industry as part of the curriculum, these programs generally do not focus on clinical research project management skills in particular. Therefore, it can be difficult for Clinical study managers/clinical project managers, and others within the clinical research field, to find appropriate training opportunities. This aim of the study was to provide valuable information on some of the primary available educational opportunities that exist for those entering the clinical research management workforce, or who are otherwise interested in expanding their knowledge in this field.</p>

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Scientific and technological development is crucial for advancing the Brazilian health system and for promoting quality of life. The way in which the Brazilian Ministry of Health has supported clinical research to provide autonomy, self-sufficiency, competitiveness and innovation for the healthcare industrial production complex, in accordance with the National Policy on Science, Technology and Innovation in Healthcare, was analyzed. DESIGN AND SETTING: Descriptive investigation, based on secondary data, conducted at the Department of Science and Technology, Ministry of Health. METHODS: The Ministry of Health's research management database, PesquisaSaúde, was analyzed from 2002 to 2009, using the key word "clinical research" in the fields "primary sub-agenda" or "secondary sub-agenda". The 368 projects retrieved were sorted into six categories: basic biomedical research, preclinical studies, expanded clinical research, clinical trials, infrastructure support and health technology assessment. From a structured review on "clinical research funding", results from selected countries are presented and discussed. RESULTS: The amount invested was R$ 140 million. The largest number of projects supported "basic biomedical research", while the highest amounts invested were in "clinical trials" and "infrastructure support". The southeastern region had the greatest proportion of projects and financial resources. In some respects, Brazil is ahead of other BRICS countries (Russia, India, China and South Africa), especially with regard to establishing a National Clinical Research Network. CONCLUSION: The Ministry of Health ensured investments to encourage clinical research in Brazil and contributed towards promoting cohesion between investigators, health policies and the healthcare industrial production complex.
