What we do:

The GCRC/PCIR is funded by the National Institutes of Health to facilitate scientific advances from the laboratory to patient care and ultimately to practice in the community. We are here to serve our volunteer research subjects, investigators, and the public. Check out our mission statment.

Our goal is to provide an optimal setting for medical researchers to conduct safe, controlled, state-of-the-art studies of adults and children. We provide infrastructure and resources that support career development opportunities. Our success is measured in 3 areas:

• Ensuring that our participants are treated safely and with respect and gratitude for their contributions.
• Medical advances that are facilitated through our support.
• The number of quality publications that are made available to the medical community

Who is eligible to use GCRC/PCIR resources?

GCRC resources are available to faculty, staff, students, as well as other university departments and to community physicians. Every study must meet these minimum requirements:

• The study must involve human subjects or be translational research
• The research must be NIH or investigator initiated
• A UNM physician must be part of the research team
• The study will need UNM HSC Human Research Review Committee approval

What resources are available?

Our core units feature a number of free or low cost services for researchers including inpatient beds, an outpatient clinic, bionutrition services, biostatistical analysis, informatics support and laboratory assays.  Ready to get started?  Find out how to Submit a GCRC/PCIR Application.
