Welcome to the Clinical Research Center!

Supported by a joint collaboration between UAMS, the College of Medicine, and the John L. McClellan's VA Hospital, the CRC includes a six-bed inpatient facility and an outpatient clinic accommodating approximately 3,500 visits annually.  The bionutrition component of the CRC can provide constant metabolic diets and nutritional counseling.  The on-site core lab can accommodate specimen handling and routing tests.  The nursing staff includes six research nurses, cross trained in both pediatric and adult care.  Investigators requiring data and safety monitoring boards, statistical development and analysis, and database design and storage are supported by enthusiastic, knowledgeable CRC professionals.

The CRC provides a safe, welcoming environment for the comfort of principal investigators and study subjects alike.  A variety of room configurations allow flexibility in the way studies are conducted. 

Who is eligible to participate?  All UAMS faculty are encouraged to use the CRC services.  Currently active researchers include those from the Colleges of Medicine, Pharmacy, and Nursing, as well as from the VA Hospitals and Arkansas Children's Hospital.   

The CRC Mission

The primary purpose of the CRC is to provide clinical research infrastructure to investigators in human-based research who are funded by the NIH or by federal, state, and local agencies and the private sector.  The Center provides space, staff and other resources to further translational research in Arkansas and acts as a catalyst for collaboration among basic and clinical scientists.

The Center serves as an institutional resource for new clinical investigators to complete pilot studies that may result in extramural funding.  The CRC also provides educational programs and grants in support of new investigators.
