Mastering the Migration: A Practical Guide for Sites Moving to ICH E6(R3)
The global migration to Good Clinical Practice ICH E6(R3) is underway—and research sites are feeling the impact. But what does this change really mean for your day-to-day operations?
Date: January 14, 2026
Time: 12:00 – 1:00 PM ET
Join ACRP and SCRS for an interactive conversation with site leaders from diverse backgrounds as they share real-world challenges and lessons learned during their transition from R2 to R3.
This live webinar—created exclusively for clinical research sites—will introduce a brand-new resource: A Pragmatic Guide for Migrating Investigator Sites to ICH E6(R3), a hands-on roadmap detailing the specific steps your site can take for a more seamless transition.
From investigator oversight and study management to informed consent, records management, and electronic systems, we’ll show you exactly what changes matter most—and how to tackle them with confidence.
Upon completion of this continuing education program, participants should be able to:
- Contrast at least three changes introduced from R2 to R3 that directly affect site operations.
- Identify key content in policies, checklists, training, and other materials that need to be updated for migration to R3.
- Analyze the potential impact that conversion to R3 will have on their clinical research site.
