ECDOI Clinical Research Core
Clinical research is a major focus of ECDOI. We understand that, for our faculty, working with human patients and adhering to all the associated requirements is a daunting task. To lower this barrier to starting up a clinical project, we have set up a system with our dedicated staff to assist you. If you are interested in a new project or simply want to collect some preliminary data, we can help you get started.
- Ensuring compliance with recruiting, evaluating, and instructing clinical research volunteers including all facets of informed consent
- Developing IRB protocols, applications, and amendments
- Assisting preparation of grant budgets
- Ensuring research projects adhere to all HIPAA regulations
- Coordinating subject recruitment, scheduling, and execution of clinical trials
- Oversight of tissue and blood collection, processing, and analysis
Beyond preliminary consultations or hourly procedures, investigators can buy out a percentage of their time to complete a study. Currently, about 40% of their time has been bought out by ECDOI investigators. To view a list of Faculty (from both East & West campuses) and Clinicians who have used our services for a variety of research projects, please click here.
Supplies
You need not worry about purchasing most clinical supplies upfront for a new or ongoing study. All common supplies will be stocked.
PIs/Labs will be billed each month by procedure to recover the cost of supplies. For small and/or pilot projects, assistance with tissue and blood collection by ECDOI staff is available at an hourly rate. Our goal is to make it easier to get started on a project, maximize the resources available, and provide a fair and easy-to-use system to cover the cost of clinical supplies and services.
All users of the facility are required to schedule time and procedures on the BookIt Lab site.
For general questions or information about BookIt Lab, please contact ECDOI. For more details on the services offered and supplies, please contact Angela and Patty.
