Investigators are strongly encouraged to provide a draft protocol prior to formal submission for nursing, dietary, laboratory, informatics, and administrative preview. Consultation with Theodore Karrison , CRC Biostatistician, is also very helpful in planning any study and is highly recommended. Judith A. Badner, M.D., Ph. In the weeks between submission and consideration by the Committee, reviewers will read the protocol and may contact the investigator to ask questions and discuss changes. If the study is not approved as submitted, the protocol will be returned to the investigator with specific suggestions for revisions.
Consideration following resubmission is usually expeditious.
The application packages include detailed instructions and required forms. This grant provides the salaries for the specialized research nurses and patient care technicians, nutritional expertise , the Core Laboratory facility and technical staff , administrative support , statistical consultation , informatics support , and a portion of the hospital bed and ancillary costs. The extent to which the grant funds the costs for hospitalization and ancillary tests performed on the CRC subjects depends upon the type of research being performed. It does not cover the cost of non-research tests which may be performed coincidentally or as a convenience to the subject. All other costs will be disallowed.
