The ICTS has established a core of study coordinators to assist investigators who do not have the resources or desire to hire and manage their own research staff. 

The coordinators (some of whom are RNs) provide “full service” support in many areas.

Support Areas

  • Assistance with budgeting and negotiation with sponsors.
  • Preparation of IRB applications and informed consent documents.
  • Subject recruitment.
  • Project coordination.
  • Management of data and report forms.

Training

Coordinators have training in:

  • GCP
  • Research ethics
  • Handling of biological specimens
  • Standard clinical research protocols
