 The Clinical Translational Research Site (CTRS) is a specialized clinical research unit that provides UM investigators the expertise, infrastructure, and oversight needed to conduct high-quality research. 

CTRS leadership works closely with Principal Investigators and Study Teams to understand their clinical research needs and provide a centralized shared resource infrastructure with highly skilled and experienced clinical research nurses, coordinators, medical assistants, and research operations staff.  

Our Clinical Research Nurses are dually credentialed to provide services to implement clinical research services for IRB approved clinical research protocols at UHealth and Jackson Health System sites.  

The CTRS provides clinical research services to support clinical research protocols initiated by industry, investigators, cooperative groups or external institutions/entities (funded by industry, federal grants, state grants or foundations) at multiple locations based upon protocol requirements.  

The CTRS plays a crucial role in supporting multi-disciplinary teams of investigators and clinicians fostering collaboration across a variety of interdisciplinary programs. Through its services, CTRS contributes to advancing healthcare innovations and improving patient outcomes by supporting research that informs the development of new treatments, therapies, and medical technologies, including support for pilot projects and new clinical research investigators.
