Clinical Research Resources

The availability of outpatient and inpatient research facilities and support is vital for performing clinical and translational research in the 21st century. The CCTSI has transformed the former General Clinical Research Centers (GCRCs) into a centrally administered and coordinated network of Clinical and Translational Research Centers (CTRC) located at four affiliated sites. CTRCs are located at:
          University of Colorado Hospital (UCH CTRC)
          The Children’s Hospital (TCH CTRC)
          National Jewish Health (NJH CTRC),
          University of Colorado at Boulder (UCB CTRC)
All former GCRC services are now offered in the CTRCs, with the exception of biostatistics, informatics, and Research Subject Advocacy, which are now accessible through other CCTSI programs. Clinical trials support is offered through the CCTSI at the UCH Clinical Trials Office and TCH Clinical Trials Organization.
