Clinical Research Services Core

Specific Aims

Aim 1. Expand the role of the CRSC by improving access to and availability of the CRSC resources at UAMS and its partner institutions by bringing clinical and translational research services directly to researchers. To accomplish this Aim we plan to complete relocation of the primary CRSC Outpatient and Inpatient Facility into the heart of a new UAMS University Hospital complex and complete expansion of CRSC resources to multiple campus sites. We also seek to manage, coordinate, and develop the CRSC support services at UAMS through the TRI to benefit researchers interested in pursuing clinical and translational research. The TRI will assist investigators with precisely identifying their clinical research needs and developing and implementing plans to meet those needs.

Aim 2. Facilitate the processes of developing and submitting clinical and translational research protocols and improve interactions with other program components of the TRI. Working with other TRI stakeholders, we plan to enhance the study submission process by completing the TRI Portal and continually evaluating the Web-based interface tool. We also support protocol development through education, mentoring, and statistical design. In our interactions, TRI personnel seek to foster interdisciplinary collaborations.

Aim 3. Develop a participant recruitment core to assist all investigators. We will hire recruitment staff with expertise in participant recruitment methodology to consult with investigators on their research needs and be knowledgeable in available databases and registries. We also will develop a centralized registry of potential research participants.
