Clinical Research Services (CRS) is comprised of the Clinical Research Services Unit (CRSU; formerly the General Clinical Research Center) and the Clinical Research Services Office (CRSO; formerly the Clinical Trials Office). The CRSU provides physical space and equipment that can be used for inpatient and outpatient clinical research including inpatient rooms for studies when patients need to stay overnight. In addition, there are research-trained nurses, dieticians, and clinical laboratory personnel available for your research.
The CRSO provides assistance with budgets/contracts and regulatory submissions for your clinical research project. In addition, it provides trained study coordinators and project managers to assist in the conduct of your clinical research studies. Finally, the CRS can help with participant recruitment for your research study.
