GENERAL INFORMATION
Access to and use of
the Harvard-Thorndike Clinical Research Center is regulated by the NIH
guidelines for Clinical Research Centers. These guidelines describe the
mission of the center, our protocol review obligations and regulatory
requirements for how we classify study activity and give the administrative
staff guidance on supported activities and covered costs.
In order to use the
CRC, all protocols must be reviewed by the CRC's Scientific Advisory
Committee, which meets once per month. The CRC Scientific Advisory Committee
reviews the study design and scientific merit of all protocols to be conducted
on the CRC to ensure that they are well designed and of the highest caliber.
For approved
investigator-initiated (A) protocols, the CRC grant is available to
support:
For
industry-initiated (D) protocols, investigators will be appropriately charged for
services provided, based on established costs approved by the CRC Scientific
Advisory Committee.
The guidelines, policies and
procedures for investigator use of the BIDMC CRC can be found in our
Investigator Manual.
The
Harvard-Thorndike Clinical Research Center is a Harvard Catalyst Research Unit
and is funded by Grant UL1 RR 025758 from the NCRR, NIH
