The Clinical Trial Center

PRESENTATION OF THE DEPARTMENT AND ORGANIZATION CHART

The Clinical Trial Center is the support service for clinical research and is divided into two pillars:

- The contracts, finance and reporting pillar of clinical research (CoFi)

The CoFi manages commercial and academic research contracts, consultancy contracts, research accounts and the coordination of European research projects. Reporting of the various academic indicators is also carried out.

- The quality and regulatory pillar

The quality aspect includes managing the AAHRPP quality system and accreditation, the initial and continuous training of clinical medical research coordinators (CRCM), updating the website and internal audits of academic and commercial studies.

The regulatory aspect consists of regulatory support for the submission of clinical studies through central desks.

The Clinical Trial Center is a different and independent entity from the ethics committee. However, the central desks (academic and commercial) are the only access point for initial submitting clinical studies to the ethics committee.

Legal support is also available for legal questions and revisions of research contract clauses.
