The CRDDR provides expertise in clinical trial management and data collection to clinical researchers for studies not sponsored by the GCRC or OHSU Cancer Institute . Through effective trial management and innovative data collection, clinical trials efficiency can be improved and high quality data collected for analysis. This resource is housed in the BICC and the Department of Medical Informatics and Clinical Epidemiology and can coordinate services with other clinical services and ITG.

Major capabilities of the CRDDR include:

• Consultation on effective clinical trial design and data collection
  
• Clinical trial coordination of single or multicenter trials, including
  
  • monitoring of quality and adverse events
  • implementation of randomization schemes
    
• Creation and maintenance of information systems, including research databases and interfaces for clinical research studies
  
• Creation of elecronic tools for collection of research-quality data in clinical settings
  
• Creation and support of patient registries
  
• Creation and implementation of electronic systems which integrate clinical data with data from ancillary and financial systems for clinical research (with CIADS)
  
• Information systems support for clinical research networks including practice-based networks

Costs for services will be estimated based on an initial assessment. Help in preparation of budgets for grant submissions and of IRB submissions is available.
