Sheridan's Honours Bachelor of Interior Design curriculum and its delivery are designed to address current social issues pertinent to the design industry. This enables students to broaden their understanding of their place within the world.

Fundamental to the vision of the program is the balance of creative and conceptual thinking with the technical and business aspects of the profession. Courses follow a logical sequence with the degree of difficulty building vertically from first year to fourth year.

The various streams provide a range of design problems building in size and scope, from simple to complex in various design sectors. The curriculum builds on fundamental introductions that ensures a strong foundation for students to apply additional more complex learning and skills developed later in the program.

Studio projects are designed to mimic professional practice and require applied theory, creativity and strong technical knowledge. Curriculum is also connected horizontally across each semester to help support the learning in courses happening simultaneously. This demonstrates the inter-connected knowledge and skills required to practice in the industry.

The program provides many opportunities that expose students to practicing professionals and professional practice. Industry leaders and representatives from professional associations like ARIDO and IDC are invited into the classroom as jurors and guest speakers throughout the four years. The internship also provides professional design work experience for students before they enter their final year of study.

The curriculum is student-centric and designed to equip students with the skills that are required for entry-level design positions and advanced study. Manual skills such as drafting, drawing and model making are developed alongside digital skills using current software. Students are also well-versed in the applicable building codes and regulations required to practice in Ontario. Students are exposed to valuable research skills and encouraged to continue their learning past graduation.

Program goals

Sheridan's Honours Bachelor of Interior Design program aspires to:

• Develop confident, creative and critical thinkers that can solve a variety of problems thoughtfully, improving the quality of the built environment and protecting the health, safety and welfare of the public.
• Equip students with the tools to think independently and ethically to ensure technically, environmentally, and socially responsible decision-making.
• Deliver current and relevant curriculum that incorporates equity, diversity and inclusion. This encourages students to create spaces that foster inclusivity and look at design from various perspectives within diverse communities, involving numerous stakeholders.
• Inform students regarding the various facets of the profession, engaging them with designers and industry affiliates.
• Encourage continuous professional and personal growth, instilling a desire to contribute to the profession and society at large. The program encourages students to become active participants in the design community, become members of their local Association, write their NCIDQ exams, give back to the community and become progressive leaders in the profession.
• Prepare graduates for entry-level design positions, equipped with the required knowledge and skills for employment in the diverse design industry, ensuring they possess the body of knowledge necessary to respond to social and environmental issues, while designing interior spaces that are technically proficient, code-compliant, conceptually strong, sustainable and all-inclusive.
• Provide enhanced opportunities for students to pursue post-graduate studies, employment, research and/or further their academic studies and/or credentials.

In this chapter, we provide a detailed review of the protocol for receiving, storing and dispensing the investigational product (IP). At every stage, there are guidelines in place to ensure the safety of study subjects and staff. This includes handling the IP with care, logging relevant information such as date of manufacture and batch number, and recording shipping details. Additionally, we address the need for precautions when dispensing the IP, such as limiting access to authorized personnel only.

This section looks at how lab testing in clinical trials has changed over time. It used to be done in local labs, which had a lot of mistakes. Now it is done in central labs, which makes it more accurate and reliable. The section also covers standards for clinical trial laboratories, such as the GLCP (Good Clinical Laboratory Practice) and CLIA norms (Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments). Additionally, it provides guidelines for lab audits, including fire safety and staff training.

The chapter reviews essential documentation that needs to be created and maintained throughout the clinical trials. This includes the Trial Master File (TMF), FDA forms 1571, 1572, 3674, 3454/3455 and CFR Title 21 Form 312. You will learn about each of these forms and why it is important to keep records updated, for example by incorporating IRB revisions and amendments, periodic renewals of permissions and licenses and copies of submitted reports. The unit also requires that you submit documents that describe the procedures for the study and site, including an SOP (Standard Operating Procedure), MOP (Manual of Procedures), Investigator Brochure (IB), Delegation of Authority Log (DOAL), site staff CVs, SAE notifications, logs of subject screening and enrollment, IP storage (temperature, humidity, etc.) and all relevant study parameters.

This unit gives you an overview of Title 21 of the FDA Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). This includes Chapter 1 sections on informed consent (Section 50), IRB approval (Section 56), Series on food (100), pharmaceuticals (200 and 300), as well as FDA Drug Schedules. The major part of the module focuses on Part 11 which deals with Electronic Records and Electronic Signatures (ERES). Part 11 lays down the criteria for determining safety and reliability (trustworthiness) of electronic data and signatures.

This module will cover the process of how drugs are evaluated by the FDA, and the role of a CRA in this process. You will learn about the difference between an IND (Investigational New Drug) and an NDA (New Drug Application). The criteria for evaluating an IND, including toxicology and pharmacokinetics data, as well as requirements for different drug classes (oncology vs. non-oncology). Additionally, you will learn about FDA requirements for AE reporting, including assessment of seriousness, expectedness and format for expedited reporting of life-threatening SARs, as well as safety reporting requirements for investigators.

The unit provides a detailed breakdown of the organization of a TMF or Trial Master File, listing the various binders that should be included within the TMF, as well as their contents. Thus, the TMF should contain binders pertaining to the study protocol and IRB, investigator qualifications, FDA forms and correspondence, FDFs or Financial Disclosure Forms, communications with the CRO, and other relevant trial aspects. A helpful templatic guide to creating a TMF is also provided in this chapter, as well as a self-assessment quiz of 10 items on important sections of a TMF.

In this chapter, we will discuss FDA guidelines regulating financial disclosure in depth. This will cover the definition of 'conflict of interest' and the stipulations of Title 21 Section 54 on disclosure requirements. We will also study real life case examples of conflict of interest, as well as lawsuits pertaining to financial disclosure disputes to help gain a better understanding of the potential problems arising from failure to disclose financial interests in clinical trials. Another important dimension covered in the module is the regulation of payments to PIs and other investigators as well as patient payments, which must comply with CMS (Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services) policy on 'fair market value' as well.

The chapter also talks about things that might make it hard to meet recruitment goals, and how to make it easier, like being less picky about who can join, giving people money to cover travel costs, and making it clear what benefits come from participating. The unit also covers why patients might leave a trial early, and how to prevent that from happening as much, like making the experience better for patients (by paying more attention to them and being flexible with when they can come in for visits, etc.), and using technology to make things simpler and more efficient (like having digital forms that can be completed automatically). Finally, the unit discusses some new ways of keeping patients involved and compliant in clinical trials; these techniques use technology to get better results.

This module discusses reasons why people might commit scientific fraud, and the consequences of fraudulent practices in clinical trials. A scale is presented for classifying errors in clinical trial data. At one end of the spectrum is ‘honest, isolated mistake’ and at the other end is ‘deliberate data falsification with malicious intent’. Types of clinical data that may be falsified, methods used in falsification (fabrication, substitution, omission), as well as scenarios in clinical trials where falsification may be occurring are presented. Through this chapter, you will learn how to identify signs of fraud during the actual clinical trials process.

Strengthening Clinical Research Integrity: Updated Good Clinical Practice Training Now Available

In 2016, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) issued a policy establishing an expectation that all NIH-funded investigators and staff involved in conducting, overseeing, or managing clinical trials should be trained in Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and should refresh their training at least every three years. The purpose of GCP is to ensure the safety, integrity, and quality of clinical trials. GCP provides a standard for compliance, implementation, data collection, monitoring, and reporting, and outlines the responsibilities of Institutional Review Boards (IRB), investigators, sponsors, and monitors.

Researchers will recognize familiar principles in this training, such as ensuring that study participants are fully informed before giving consent and collaborating with IRBs to monitor any adverse events. GCP also highlights principles related to study operations, like adhering to detailed protocols and quality management plans. Although these activities are sometimes seen as extra “paperwork,” GCP underscores their importance in maintaining the rigor, transparency, and ethics of study conduct.

The principles explored in the GCP training are essential to thorough and ethical behavioral and social sciences research. GCP helps investigators and clinical trial staff protect the rights, safety, and well-being of human subjects, ensure that their clinical trials are conducted according to approved plans with rigor and integrity, and that the data collected is reliable.

In 2016 and 2017, OBSSR partnered with the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) and the Society of Behavioral Medicine (SBM) to develop a GCP training specifically for behavioral and social sciences research. With the recent changes to the NIH definition of clinical trials , more researchers in these fields are now conducting clinical trials. As a result, keeping the course updated with the latest best practices, especially as they relate to trials in the behavioral and social sciences, is more important and relevant than ever.

In 2024, NIH released an updated version of the GCP for Social and Behavioral Research eLearning Course . In addition to updating the accessibility of the training, the course now includes new content relevant to community and partner engagement. The updated training can be accessed free of charge and we encourage researchers to use this tool.
