Abstract: For $ninmathbbN=0,1,2,ldots$ and $b,cinmathbbZ$, the $n$th generalized central trinomial coefficient $T_n(b,c)$ is the coefficient of $x^n$ in the expansion of $(x^2+bx+c{)}^n$. In particular, $T_n=T_n(1,1)$ is the central trinomial coefficient. In this paper, we mainly establish some parametric congruences involving generalized central trinomial coefficients. As consequences, we prove that for any prime $p>3$ ${\displaystyle }$ sum_{k=0}^{p-1}frac{�inom{2k}{k}}{12^k}T_kequivleft(frac{p}{3} ight)frac{3^{p-1}+3}{4}pmod{p^2} ${\displaystyle }$ and ${\displaystyle }$ sum_{k=0}^{p-1}frac{T_kH_k}{3^k}equivfrac{3+left(frac{p}{3} ight)}{2}-pleft(1+left(frac{p}{3} ight) ight)pmod{p^2}, ${\displaystyle }$ where $(-)$ denotes the Legendre symbol and $H_k:=su{m}_{j=1}^{k}1/j$ denotes the $k$th harmonic number. These confirm two conjectural congruences of the second author.
