Many early-career clinical research professionals are thrust into complex, fast-paced project environments with limited exposure to formal project management training. This session provides a practical introduction to core project management principles tailored to clinical research settings—specifically at the study and site level. Attendees will explore key tools and strategies for managing timelines, tracking milestones, handling communications, and identifying potential risks before they become problems. Real-world case examples will highlight how applying simple project management frameworks can reduce study delays, improve team coordination, and support operational success. This session will be especially valuable for site coordinators, study managers, and new team leads looking to enhance their organizational skills and confidence in managing day-to-day research operations.
