The 28-member Clinical Research Roundtable (CRR) consisted of individuals from a broad range of government, commercial, academic, and non-profit institutions that gathered quarterly from 2000 to 2005 to discuss the challenges facing clinical research. Its June 27-28, 2000 meeting was partly organizational in nature, as the members discussed their interests and priorities for future work.
The centerpiece of the meeting was a mini-symposium in which several invited speakers helped the CRR explore some of the difficulties involved in attracting, training, and sustaining clinical investigators. The group concluded by forming four subgroups to explore potential activities in the areas of data collection, the current and evolving clinical research process, career development, and public involvement in clinical research.
