Phased Reintroduction to CTRC Research

Protocol approval is required before any visits can be planned or scheduled.

Please complete the research approval application regarding your return to research, one survey per protocol. Please do not provide tables containing multiple protocols as the CTRC will review single protocol applications only.

UCH CTRC IP unit is currently closed until at least June 15 and is not accepting applications at this time. All current CTRC users will receive an email communication when the next phase of studies can apply for approval.

UCH CTRC OP is currently accepting phase 1 applications only until we have space approval to continue with phased reintroduction of other research visits. All current CTRC users will receive email communication when the next phase of studies can apply for approval.

Due to capacity restrictions, all tasks that can be conducted remotely will continue to be conducted remotely. If you do not need to be in the CTRC clinic space for a specified face to face participant encounter, please do not enter the space. Study teams will be encouraged to reduce the number of study personnel needed at a visit. If one person can be delegated to do all tasks at the visit, that is the best practice and when possible. This will allow the CTRC to schedule more research visits per day.

If you have a CTRC visit that does not require fasting, please try and schedule after 10am, whenever possible. This will facilitate all protocols obtaining equal access to CTRC appointments.

Study staff are responsible for checking all relevant building access and PPE guidelines before entering the CTRC. This guidance changes frequently and it is your responsibility to comply with the most recent regulations.
