Overview
The Clinical Research Management shared resource continues to maintain the standards in quality. CRM utilizes various centralized support facilities (registration, drug monitoring, database support, protocol management, oversight of data management, and the PRMS, PSRS and DSM functions) to ensure “consistent, high-quality protocol management.” The Clinical Research Management (CRM) shared resource of the Comprehensive Cancer Center incorporates and augments four distinct operations that support Cancer Center members in their innovative research:
- Centralized data management and safety monitoring
- Protocol Review and Monitoring System (PRMS)
- Protocol Specific Research Support (PSRS)
Although all of the CRM areas are linked and interrelated, each has distinct functions.
