Boilerplate summaries

The paragraphs below are somewhat redundant with each other, but they are intended to provide a range of lengths and detail to fit various purposes. You can also view the general description of the patient interaction resources (GCRC/CTRU).
Note: This reflects the recent name change. (No longer "SCCTER" but "Spectrum.")

The Stanford Center for Clinical and Translational Education and Research mission is to transform the research and educational enterprise at Stanford University in order to optimally support clinical and translational research.

Spectrum, the Stanford Center for Clinical and Translational Education and Research, intends to streamline, accelerate, and promote the translation of basic discoveries into practical solutions that improve human health in the community, and to educate the next generation of clinical and translational research leaders.

Spectrum, the Stanford Center for Clinical and Translational Education and Research, is a multidisciplinary organizational unit whose mission is to integrate critical services to support clinical and translational research. Services include consultations for biostatistics, study design, and bioethics; patient interaction resources for clinical trials; core resources for specialized clinical sample analysis; and an integrated service center to ensure investigators and research personnel receive the necessary support at all stages of research.

Spectrum, the Stanford Center for Clinical and Translational Education and Research, is a multidisciplinary organizational unit whose mission is to integrate critical services to support clinical and translational research. Services include: study budgeting; contracts with industry and grant sources; automated billing, accounting, and internal financial auditing; sponsor billing and study closeout; faculty investigator education and training; external audit and review support; protocol development including biostatistics and informatics; outpatient clinic space; IRB applications; single point of contact for clinical research issues; Stanford clinical trials website; clinical laboratory consultation and samples processing; internal compliance monitoring; study source document archiving; and research coordinator services, which include education, orientation and training, health screening, and competency testing; patient recruitment and enrollment; data and sample collection; and data entry/management. Participant interaction resources are physically located within Stanford University Hospital in a 5,600 square-foot facility that includes 10 inpatient beds and two outpatient suites, a dietary kitchen, laboratory, computer center, and office space in the Stanford Hospital. Additional core resources assist with specialized clinical sample analysis. These include the Human Immune Monitoring Core, which provides cutting-edge cellular, genomic, and proteomic technologies that enable comprehensive immune analysis, and the Tissue Microarray Histopathology Core, which provides high-throughput histological analysis of tissue specimens, including gene and protein expression on the population or single-cell level.

Spectrum, the Stanford Center for Clinical and Translational Education and Research, is a multidisciplinary organizational unit whose mission is to integrate critical services to support clinical and translational research. Spectrum coordinates support services through five main program functions: Biostatistics and Study Design, Core Resources, Bioethics, Clinical and Translational Research Unit, and the Clinical and Translational Research Service Portal. Spectrum serves all faculty and clinical research personnel at Stanford to assist the clinical investigator with all aspects of clinical research. Services include: study budgeting; contracts with industry and grant sources; automated billing, accounting, and internal financial auditing; sponsor billing and study closeout; faculty investigator education and training; external audit and review support; protocol development including biostatistics and informatics; outpatient clinic space; IRB applications; single point of contact for clinical research issues; Stanford clinical trials website; clinical laboratory consultation and samples processing; internal compliance monitoring; study source document archiving; and research coordinator services, which include education, orientation and training, health screening, and competency testing; patient recruitment and enrollment; data and sample collection; and data entry/management. Participant interaction resources are physically located within Stanford University Hospital in a 5,600 square-foot facility that includes 10 inpatient beds and two outpatient suites, a dietary kitchen, laboratory, computer center, and office space in the Stanford Hospital. Additional services are provided throughout the medical center, accessed and coordinated through a single office. Additional core resources assist with specialized clinical sample analysis. These include the Human Immune Monitoring Core, which provides cutting-edge cellular, genomic, and proteomic technologies that enable comprehensive immune analysis, and the Tissue Microarray Histopathology Core, which provides high-throughput histological analysis of tissue specimens, including gene and protein expression on the population or single-cell level.
