Pediatric Clinical Research Coordinator (PCRC) Pool

The PCRC Pool can provide clinical research coordinator effort to investigators throughout the School of Medicine at an established fee that varies if it is industry or federally sponsored study.

Paid clinical research coordination

Provide research coordinator effort to faculty for government, industry, or investigator initiated studies. The cost for the effort is the responsibility of the faculty member/study.

Subsidized clinical research coordination

Provide department funded research coordinator support/effort to junior investigators (trainees and faculty) to develop their research careers and to foster new research that will improve child health.  Also considered is established investigators conducting pediatric research who propose feasibility studies that are clearly not related to previously supported research. This support should aid in the generation of preliminary data that will lead to the submission of subsequent, external funding applications.

Application timeline

Application deadline: 10th day of any month by 5:00 p.m. CT* 
^{* or first working day thereafter, if 10th falls on a holiday or weekend.}

Review/Award

Pediatric Clinical Research Unit Advisory & Review Committee will review the request to ensure that adequate resources are available to carry out the clinical research study/study needs.

Projects requesting department coordinator support will be reviewed for scientific impact and potential for the project to generate preliminary data that will advance to external funding.

Investigators will be notified of the committee’s decision via email.
