By the member, if the training type allows it.

Training and skills
The right qualifications, for the right people and the right projects.
Nagano lets you define required training, track its completion and the skills acquired by research team members, while anticipating the applicable deadlines.
Configurable training
Training adapted to your institution's requirements.
The institution defines the training that matters for its research activities: it classifies it by type, structures it into sub-trainings where needed and sets, for each one, its validity and reminders.
-
Training types
Trainings are grouped by type, and each type states whether members may declare a completed training themselves.
-
Trainings and sub-trainings
A training can be split into sub-trainings, and some trainings can be specific to a project.
-
Documents and instructors
Documents can accompany a training, and instructors can be associated with it when the training calls for them.

Targeted requirements
The right requirements, by role and by project.
Required training can be associated with a project type, and refined according to the function held in the project. Each team member thus sees the training that applies to their role, and managers see the status of the team's requirements.
Project type
- Clinical trial (selected)
- Retrospective study
- Multicentre project
Function in the project
- Principal investigator
- Research coordinator (selected)
- Research assistant
Required training
- Good clinical practice
- Research ethics
- Personal information protection
Illustrative example: requirements and their effects depend on each institution's configuration.
An overview of the team
See the skills acquired and the requirements to renew.
For each research team member, Nagano matches the required training against completed training, and tells apart what remains valid from what is approaching or past its deadline.
Managers can thus spot what needs to be completed or renewed, without losing sight of the skills already acquired.

Validity and deadlines
Anticipate training deadlines.
Each training sets its validity: no expiry, for a given length of time or until a fixed date. The deadline is calculated from the completion date, and a renewal is recorded as a new cycle, keeping the history.
- No expiry
- Validity period
- Fixed date
When the institution configures them, reminders can be sent to participants and designated people before the deadline.
Sample cycle
Research ethics
-
Training completed
The completion is recorded and the skill is acquired.
-
Current validity
The training meets the applicable requirements.
-
Possible deadline
According to the set length or fixed date.
-
Renewal
A new cycle is recorded; the previous one stays in the history.
An expired training does not mean a lost skill: only its validity against the requirements needs to be renewed.
Supervised validation
Tracking supervised by training managers.
Depending on the training type, a member can declare a completed training themselves and attach supporting evidence. Training managers can then approve or refuse it, and the person is notified of the decision.
Supporting evidence
A certificate or attached document, where needed.
Possible validation
Approval or refusal by a training manager.
Completion recorded
The completed training counts in the tracking.
A training added directly by a manager does not need to be validated. Permissions and steps depend on the institution's configuration.
