Calgary Centre for Clinical Research - Update
11 May 2009
The Calgary Centre for Clinical Research (CCCR) will be the hub for clinical trials activity in the Faculty of Medicine. Plans are currently being drawn up to consolidate trials administration and the activity of the Heritage Medical Research Clinic on the fifth floor of the Teaching, Research and Wellness (TRW) building.
The administrative side of the CCCR will co-ordinate the approval and management of clinical health research in the faculty. This will include the 4 main components of: (1) legal services; (2) accounting services; (3) human ethics oversight and (4) impact assessment. This website will ultimately provide information and links to information necessary to conduct clinical trials and clinical health research at the University. It is my goal that we will have an entirely electronic platform for managing the clinical research process in due course.
The clinical side of the CCCR will house space and patient facilities for outpatient clinical trials. This will be the Heritage Medical Research Clinic which is managed and will continue to be managed by Carolyn Robertson, RN. The HMRC will be housed on the 5th floor of the TRW building and will have space for clinical trials co-ordinators to run trials and review patients. Please contact Carolyn for more information on the use of this space.
Michael D. Hill
Director, CCCR
