Location of Core:
185 Cambridge Street, Simches Building CPZN 2153, Boston.
Major Equipment:
CHGR’s Phenotyping Core is available for study visits.
| Services: |
- Clinical Support Services to assist investigators with study design, biostatistical consultation, funding sources, budgets, survey design and validation, recruitment and study coordination.
- Educational Programming to provide basic and continuing education and support for clinical investigators, clinical research coordinators, research nurses and study staff.
- Informatics tools to help identify potential subjects, navigate the system and find relevant information via ‘one stop shopping.’
- Genetic and Genomic Consultation to help investigators think about genetics and genomics questions in their protocols and then access resources within Partners.
- Disease Management and Outcomes Consultation to support hypothesis-driven research that improves patient outcomes through systemic changes in system, provider and patient behaviors while fostering careers of junior faculty.
- Translational Research to provide consulting help and educational training to investigators who are interested in translating basic science discoveries into clinically applicable tools for the diagnosis or treatment of human disease; and to help investigators exploit clinical discoveries that require greater elucidation in basic science laboratories.
