Off-Site Clinical Research Coordinators
This service is provided by the Clinical Research Resource (CRR).
Overview
Irving Institute-funded research coordinators/nurses are available to support pediatric and adult clinical research activities in the Emergency Department, Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (ICU), Neonatal ICU, Neurological ICU, Neurosurgical ICU and Obstetrics and Gynecology department. Traditional research approaches do not allow a flexible framework for these high-risk units to engage in clinical research. Our experienced research coordinators are available to support protocol development, assist with IRB submissions, recruit participants, and collect research data in these clinical areas. The offsite coordinators hold weekly update meetings with the clinical unit manager and monthly meetings with the directors to provide an overview of the regular offsite unit activities. These experienced personnel support clinical research by assisting with:
- Protocol development
- IRB submission
- Participant recruitment
- Research data collection
- Regulatory documents
Starting in March 2020, we are also providing support for COVID-19 research.
Eligibility
All investigators with clinical research studies needing implementation in the offsite-supported units are eligible for this service.
Cost
There is no cost for this service.
