Service and Access

For access to the CTR Support Portal Services, please visit the SPCTRM website; the SPCTRM website will be integrated with the SCCTER website soon.

Program Purpose

The goal of the CTR Support Portal is to establish a management infrastructure that ensures efficient support for the ethical, efficient and compliant conduct of CTR by moving from an enforcement-based to a customer-service approach to regulation. The CTR Support Portal serves as a single entry pathway for clinical and translational (CT) researchers to access key support services and technologies. Services such as budgeting, IRB submissions, Medicare compliance, contracting, and clinical coordinator and research nurse education and support will be accessed at a single point and coordinated by a “Study Facilitator,” a staff member fulfilling a role similar to that of a project manager. Biostatistical consultation services will be consolidated under the unified direction of the Center for Innovative Study Design.

The CTR Support Portal will serve as the initial point of contact for all CTR studies and service requests, and the center for subject advocacy. The Portal will conduct a coordinated reassessment of all regulatory training activities to identify any gaps in training, and attempt to minimize the training burden on investigators, research coordinators, and staff.
