Introduction to Clinical Investigation Website
What is clinical research?
Clinical research is investigative work conducted with human subjects (or on
material of human origin such as tissues, specimens, and cognitive or
behavioral phenomena) for which an investigator or colleague directly interacts
with human subjects. It includes mechanisms of human disease, therapeutic
interventions, clinical trials, development of new technologies, translational
research, clinical epidemiology and outcomes research.
The Clinical Investigation Website Provides:
-
Information and access to resources that will facilitate the successful conduct
of clinical research. (The categories of information and resources are listed
to the left.)
-
Links to other websites, such as Human Investigation Committee (HIC), and
information to help navigate through these sites by focusing on, and
describing, the information of direct relevance to investigators.
-
Templates and examples from other investigators for use in preparing grants,
HIC protocols, consent forms, and other important documents.
-
Sources of participants and controls.
-
Information on biostatistical and informatics expertise.
-
Information on negotiating access to and fees for research space, assays,
imaging, and data collection.
The website is a work in progress and has been developed by faculty and staff
actively engaged in a range of clinical research activities. If you are aware
of additional resources that should be listed, please let us know. For
