Office of Clinical Research

The Office of Clinical Research (OCR) provides tools and services to help URMC faculty and staff with the administration of clinical trials. By streamlining the processes behind clinical research, we hope to empower our clinical research teams to do more high-impact clinical trials that can advance clinical discovery and offer patients and community members more options and opportunities. We also make it easier for researchers to comply with clinical trial rules and regulations to produce successful outcomes.

The OCR has many services to assist with your clinical trials
