Clinical Research can only succeed through the continued support of the human volunteer. All of our studies have been approved by both the
- CRC Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC)
- Committee on the Use of Humans as Experimental Subjects (COUHES)
Our investigators and their staff have completed the MIT appointment process which includes:
- HIPAA training
- MIT Safety education
- Bloodborne and Pathogen training
- Human Subject training Course
In addition all research scientists, physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners and nurses are credentialed by the MIT Medical Department's outside credentialing service, NCVO.
The National Center for Research Resource (NCRR) has stipulated that each GCRC program have a Research Subject Advocate (RSA) program to provide greater safeguards for participants in clinical research studies carried out by the GCRC.
Volunteers with scheduling concerns are encouraged to call the contact person on the Investigator's team. This information should have been provided with your protocol packet.
