The course provides the workforce with a common understanding of their work.	12	“I think [the training] would support what the faculty and what I have been trying to standardize across the center in terms of protocols. And it would give from project managers down to data collection staff or phlebotomist, or whoever’s on our team, an appreciation for the role. … The Protocol, and the manual of operations, and the standard operating procedures - why those are all important this time. I think that that’s really important to have that additional support.”
The course is important to those who are regularly engaged in the research the course describes.	9	“One of the things that I appreciate about this entire [training] is that it is not something that is overly focused on FDA compliant trials. The fact that this is really social behavioral research and is focused on the kind of work that might teams generally do already makes it far more relevant and impactful than something where I will see my low-level RAs eyes start to glaze over because they don't do that kind case report forms where we have an external sponsor where we're sending drug information to the FDA. I mean that’s what really makes it salient is the fact that it is for the kind of work we do.”
The impact of the course could be enhanced by focusing on the content that is most important to similar participants or teams	8	“Going back to that community of practice type thing… Going back and having a [training] resource for other study team members that you can call and be like, “hey you want to come [and] watch our study, visit, or observe, or walk through our process with me?” …’ But just having that built-in community and resource, I think, would be really, really beneficial.”
