Clinical Research Core

This Unit provide study recruitment, subject visits, and sample collection in our clinical research areas at OUHSC and OMRF. In addition, our skilled personnel can travel to clinics to accommodate specialized equipment, patient requirements, or investigator needs.

This helps researchers navigate the regulatory requirements necessary for clinical research, clinical trials, dissemination/implemental research, or device studies at academic, tribal or community locations. The Regulatory Assistance Unit works with the Community Engagement and Outreach and the Administrative Core. OSCTR pilot award recipients are required to use this service.

This Unit helps investigators establish new registries, repositories, and collections, and provides access to existing collections. The available resources include both cross-sectional collections and longitudinal studies with extensive data from clinical encounters, biospecimens, and associated laboratory and experimental data.

The Clinical Resources Core provides access to samples and data from OSCTR-supported collections in the ACI Biorepository, as well as external sources such as the Oklahoma Blood Institute. Resource sharing through the Clinical Resources Core is subject to all relevant institutional policies.
