Commercial Studies Pathway
Version 1.1 - Oct 2024
The East Midlands RRDN has created and developed this commercial training pathway, due to an increase in Commercial Research in the East Midlands area and the demand from our Partner Organisations.
The commercial studies pathway guides you through available resources to give you an overview of the lifecycle of commercial research.
The pathway is designed to be flexible, letting you complete the learning that is relevant at a time suitable to you.
Many of the resources are contained in our NIHR Learn platform, you will need a Learn account to use them. If you need to set one up, click on the 'Create Account' link on the Learn sign in page.
Also included in the pathway are links to specific topics in our commercial handbook. You can access the full handbook here.
