Impact
The Clinical Research Support Center has helped thousands of University of Minnesota researchers and study teams enhance their protocols, navigate the clinical research process, and get their studies started swiftly.
Setting studies up for success
Being able to tap into the CRSC is what made the research possible. If I were trying to do it on my own, it would have taken so much time and energy that it would’ve been difficult to get the study off the ground.
Since I started at the University of Minnesota in 2023, my team has used CRSC services for every project we’ve developed. The CRSC has made the transition from my prior institution much smoother and has really come through when projects faced tight timelines.
I can’t say enough about how amazing the service from CTSI has been, and how kind the people have been. They take things that are a mystery to me, and make them very understandable. I would give them five stars every time.
[The CRSC] supported our research study in every aspect that we needed them to. When we had questions, they were there to answer them and help streamline this process for us.
The CRSC behaved like a clearinghouse for me to get expertise on everything from biostatistics, study consent form details, descriptions of study protocol procedures — everything that’s needed to create a credible, detailed, ready-to-approve IRB application.
It’s really helpful to have someone hold my hand as we walk through the process together. [...] Without the CRSC, I would still be wondering who to talk to, who I needed to be put in touch with to get the information I needed.
