The Clinical Research Center provides scientists the resources necessary to maximize the efficient translation of results from basic and bench research to human clinical trials and patient care. As part of the Harvard NIH-funded Clinical and Translational Science Center, the CRC offers investigators clinical space, equipment, skilled nursing and nutrition services, project management and study coordinator support, resources for conducting community engagement research, as well as one-on-one consultation with Clinical/Translational Research Navigators.
A CRC-specific online application must be completed for any study that wants to utilize CRC services or resources. This step is separate from the institution’s IRB submission process. CRC study approval is contingent upon completion of this application and final authorization from CRC administration. https://protocolreview.catalyst.harvard.edu/
