The RIIC provides informatics services to support translational research. We consult with investigators, study coordinators, and biostatisticians to provide informatics technologies to ensure studies capture high quality data that is safe, secure, and meets all regulatory requirements. 

To access RIIC services, all of the following criteria must be met:

• The study principle investigator must be a CCTSI member
• Human-related protocols must have been submitted to COMIRB or must have a documented waiver of review from COMIRB
• Be reviewed and approved by one of the CCTSI scientific review committees (SARC, PACT, K/Pilot/Novel Methods awards) or another recognized scientific review committee such as the Cancer Center. Other scientific review committees will be considered on an ad-hoc basis in consultation with the CCTSI PI, Ron Sokol.

For more information and details about informatics services, view Table 1 and RIIC Services Information.
