New BRIDGES Program Information and Forms

  The BRIDGES (Begin Research Initially with Directed Guidance through Education and Support) Program was developed specifically to facilitate Good Clinical Practices (GCP) in investigator initiated research. The purpose is to create an organized system for record management setting the research up for collection of high quality and credible results.

Good Clinical Practice (GCP) is an international ethical and scientific quality standard for conducting research.  GCP standards are generally a requirement for pharmaceutical and federal cooperative group research, however, many of the standards can be applied to investigator initiated research as well.

Filing essential research documents and organization of records at a study site can be beneficial at several levels including:

-  Production of "clean" data, increasing likelihood of credible, valid results
-  Protection of subjects, the investigator, and the institution
-  Facilitation of the amendment and re-approval process
-  Keeping your research documents "audit ready" for any regulatory reviews

For an initial BRIDGES consultation to discuss preparation of forms and documentation management, please email or call the HRPO front desk at 505-272-1129.
