Administration

The CRC administrative office is the first point of contact for investigators seeking CRC support for their clinical research protocols. The CRC Administrative office coordinates the application and review process for new projects and facilitates access to the research center by working with investigators and CRC staff to help investigators "think through" proposed studies and grant applications. The CRC administrative assists investigators with budgeting the cost of CRC services and provides letters of support for grant applications. The administrative team is responsible for record-keeping, data tracking, and all other administrative matters.
