CRC Research Coordinator Support Service
The Clinical Research Center is pleased to introduce a Research Coordinator Support Service for the Einstein and Montefiore community. This service is designed to meet the needs of investigators throughout the clinical research life cycle. Research activities supported may range from IRB submission to pre-screening and chart review, performing study visits, and maintenance of regulatory compliance. Requests for support will be considered on a case-by-case basis, as resources are limited. Fee discounts may be available on a limited basis for junior investigators.
To express interest, or request the service, please complete this brief form (1-2 min).

Thank you all for your contributions towards today's study, which was outstanding!!! I was so thankful that it worked out so well.

This service was essential in helping this study to move forward. When one of our coordinators left the institution, the study coordinator service helped us to transition to the next coordinator. We are truly grateful and appreciative.
