Administration and Financial Management Division
The Center for Clinical Research was established to increase clinical and translational research infrastructure, capacity and productivity. A centralized administrative infrastructure is an efficient and responsive means to provide clinical research support, and in turn:
- Provides shared services that are difficult to establish and maintain by individual investigators
- Creates a central point of contact for investigators
- Improves compliance and quality
- Produces economy of effort
- Saves overall costs
The central concept of the CCR is to support faculty and their research teams using a flexible offering of services; either by utilizing specific study services or optioning for full-service support. CCR faculty and staff support clinical investigators with clinical research design and methods, protocol development, grant submission, statistical analysis, data management, financial management and study coordination.
