Research Support Services Core

We provide guidance and consultation to researchers in the early stages of study development and connect them with experts who can help guide experimental study design, assess data quality, assist with data analysis, build research teams, and recruit study participants.

Our Research Support Services

Research Funding

We offer two programs to help investigators secure funding to a limited number of investigators—the ClinTECH Center Training Program and the Nursing Research Program.

Biobanking and Specimen Processing

Our staff can assist with the development of specimen processing procedures for upcoming studies that might have unique needs.

Clinical Monitoring

We provide consistent access to highly skilled research nursing staff.

Pilot/Feasibility Study Sponsorship

Funds will be available to help three fellow or junior faculty in the Lifespan system launch pilot studies. The hope is that the data generated from these initial studies can be used as preliminary data for subsequent larger grant applications.

Project Management

Investigators have access to project management services and support from expert clinical research coordinators. The coordinators can assist with study development, data management, medical and technical writing,

Study Subject Recruitment

We work with our team of trained research support staff and third-party service providers to supply study participant recruitment services.
