The RCSS is an internal resource for the conduct of clinical research comprising a staff of trained research coordinators and nurses who provide clinical research support services to researchers at UTMB spanning the study life cycle from study start-up to study closure. Our primary objective is to foster the advancement of medicine and the development of improved therapeutic approaches in partnership with our physicians and clients. We exist to provide the needed administrative, coordination, staffing, and regulatory support to assist the investigator in this endeavor. Using our services, investigators can quickly implement research studies without the administrative burden associated with training and managing research staff or the costs of providing office space and associated systems.
