CCTSI’s Research Navigators assist Biomedical Investigators from all fields and disciplines through the research process. We can help get research started, supported, completed, and communicated.
The Navigators can assist investigators with:
- Answering general questions regarding starting research projects on the Anschutz Medical Campus and its affiliates
- IRB Questions including:
- Step-by-Step guidance and Pre-Screening for completion and consistency of COMIRB applications
- COMIRB Application documents
- Consent form
- Advertisements
- Other Study related materials
- Clinical Trials
- Flowcharts for decision making about IRB submission
- InfoEd assistance
- Questions regarding CCTSI Pilot Grant Funding including
- Identifying which pilot program is appropriate for their project
- Navigating the Pilot Grant application process
- Connecting to applicable CCTSI resources including information on
- CTRC resources and SARC review
- NeTT Labs
- Community Engagement Resources
- Child and Maternal Health Resources
- Informatics Support for Research Projects
- Educational Opportunities, Programs and Resources including videos
- Connecting investigators to one another throughout UCD and its affiliates
- Identifying funding sources for a project
- Data Management Options for Clinical Research Projects (including REDCap)
- Other Research Questions
While the assistance provided by a Research Navigator’s pre-screening can improve regulatory outcomes, the Navigator’s advice, even when followed, does not assure a positive response from a regulatory committee or panel.
*Regulatory Assistance for CTRC Protocols is provided by the Research Subject Advocates for the various clinics. Information can be found on their page here.
