agree  Steffen Walter: ... although I'd phrase this differently because it's a list of activities presented in a CV: "... initiated (clinical) trial centre, trained investigators and trial staff, ...".

participation in programs of initiation (training) at clinical skills centre


Explanation:
Initiierung = Vorgang des Einführens in eine Gruppe, Amt oder anderen persönlichen Seinszustand

Zentrum is translated as clinical skills centre (from: Medical Education for the Future; Springer, Volume I, 2011). It regularly pops up in numerous texts about medical training.

Example sentence(s):
  • As done in other countries, several Brazilian medical schools have implemented programs of initiation to scientific research in the form of academic disciplines. (link 1)

disagree  Steffen Walter: Looking more closely at the context provided by the asker, this is not what is meant: we are talking about a "Studienzentrum" (clinical trial centre/center) here.

disagree  Steffen Walter: Wrong guess, I think. Correct parsing of the German: "Initiierung des/eines Zentrums" or "Initiierung von Zentren".
