Clinical Trial Administration Support Project
At the Sr. ADR’s request, and with Dean de Beer’s approval, a decision was made in summer 2015 to engage the services of an outside consultant to guide the process of establishing an enterprise-level centralized support structure within the existing Sponsored Research Administrative Services (SRAS) office for administrative, financial, and regulatory activities related to clinical research activity – industry, government, and internally sponsored.
In August 2015, an RFP was distributed to group of consultants already having UKHC contracts in place to provide a range of health care-related financial consulting services. Responses have been received and companies of interest are being scheduled to make in-person presentations during the month of October 2015. A plan to make a decision and start work should be in place by January 1, 2016.
