Resources for Researchers

The following programs are in concert with the Clinical & Translational Science Center development.

• Regulatory Support Unit (RSU) - The RSU assists with all regulatory aspects of investigator and sponsor-initiated research, including compliance, IND/IDE applications, and IRB applications. In collaboration with the Human Research Protections Office, this program coordinates and oversees the research training programs for investigators, pharmacists, nurses and staff.
  
  
• Educational Programs - This link will take you to the Research, Education, Training & Career Development (RETCD) site hosted by the Biomedical Research Education Program Office (BREP). The CTSC and the BREP are working together to develop training for clinical and translational investigators. RETCD offers multiple training opportunities that can accommodate challenging schedules, a wide range of goals, and a varying set of research interests.
  
  
• Career Development - This link will take you to the Biomedical Research Education Program Office (BREP).  In their continued joint ventures, BREP and CTSC are developing career development opportunities for clinical and translational investigators.
  
  
• General Clinical Research Center - The General Clinical Research Center (GCRC) supports investigators by providing free or low cost services for NIH or investigator initiated studies.  The GCRC will eventually be named the Participant and Clinical Interactions Resource (PCIR)
  
  
• Biostatistics/Primary Support Unit (PSU) The Primary Support Unit provides CTSC investigators with comprehensive support for study design, biostatistics, ethics, and basic data management from a centralized, coordinated resource. Additional biostatistician expertise is available specifically for GME medical residents.
  
  
• Biomedical Informatics (BMI) is key to the CTSC’s goal of creating coordinated infrastructure that encourages innovative clinical and translational research.
