What is the DCRI? An academic research organization: Integrates the scientific thought leadership of an academic medical center and the operational capabilities of a CRO Provides a full range of clinical research services conducted to worldwide regulatory standards Provides access to core laboratories and specialized research tools Linked to academic health centers, professional societies, advocacy groups, regulatory agencies Fully oriented to the public private partnership space In operation for over 25 years
Our mission . . . to develop and share knowledge that improves the care of patients around the world through innovative clinical research. Duke Clinical Research Institute
How Is the DCRI Different….? From other Academic Research Centers... Operational capability to manage trial types from Phase I to global multi-center clinical research Possession of the complete infrastructure to needed to sustain clinical research Compared with Clinical Research Organizations…. Experienced Clinicians as Faculty Researchers dedicated to the Academic mission Extensive Relationships with and appointments at regulatory agencies including the FDA and the NIH institutes Ability to take research from Bedside to Clinical Research to Bedside
