Research Feasibility

The Miami CTSI supports the feasibility committe for the Miller School of Medicine research enterprise. The Research Feasibility Committee reviews industry-sponsored clinical research studies.

The purpose of this committee is to optimize the allocation of institutional resources and effort, reduce duplicative studies, and improve the overall performance of clinical research at the Miller School of Medicine.

For each study type, please review the steps to submitting a feasibility intake form.

Industry-Sponsored Clinical Research Studies

Beginning September 1, 2022, all new industry-sponsored clinical research studies, will be reviewed for feasibility by the Miller School of Medicine (MSOM) Research Feasibility Committee (RFC) prior to IRB submission.

What do I need to do?

Study teams will be required to complete the Feasibility Intake Form for all new, industry-sponsored clinical research studies, prior to IRB submission and ORA contracting.

Who do I contact with questions?

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Research Feasibility Committee at [email protected].
