The first step to a successful research project is the development of the research concept and a funding application. These resources will help you identify a research problem, develop the methods to answer your hypothesis and accelerate the development of your research plan.
- Research Methods Forum
- The Research Methods Forum provides an interactive setting for investigators to present new and developing research ideas to multidisciplinary experts in clinical research methods and potential collaborators, who will provide recommendations.
- The Trial Innovation Network
- The Trial Innovation Network connects CTSA Program Hubs nationwide to leverage their expertise and resources to conduct large, multi-site clinical trials.
- Center for Data to Health (CD2H)
- CD2H accelerates advances in informatics by promoting collaboration across Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) Program hubs, including the University of Rochester.
- National COVID Cohort Collaborative (NC3) Domain Teams
- N3C enables researchers with shared interests to collaborate more efficiently and analyze data within the N3C Data Enclave, a secure platform housing harmonized COVID clinical data.
- ROC Health Data
- Health researchers and community partners can map local health outcomes and social determinants of health using the Roc Health Data website.
- Literature Searches
- Edward G Miner Library: To initiate a literature search, stop by the Reference Desk, give us a call at (585) 275-2487, or submit a literature search request through Ask A Librarian. A standard search is usually completed in 4-5 working days and there is no fee for UR affiliates.
- Patient Cohort Discovery
- TriNetX
- Search UR Medicine’s health records to get counts of patients with particular inclusion/exclusion criteria.
- ACT Network
- The ACT Network is a real-time platform allowing researchers to explore and validate feasibility across the CTSA institutions for multi-site clinical studies.
- CTSI Consultations
- The UR CTSI provides funding, education, resources and services to help research teams collaborate and produce results faster. Through our many programs, we strive to advance science and medicine and improve the health of communities and populations. Submit a request online for assistance.
- Participant Recruitment and Retention
- Greater-Rochester Practice-Based Research Network
- UNYTE Research Network
- Community Engagement
- Informatics
- Digital Health and Regulatory Science
- Equity-Focused Dissemination and Implementation
- Research Data Integration and Analytics
- The Research Data Integration and Analytics (RDIA) group is a team of experienced database developers, data managers and statisticians that provide integrated research study and experimental data management.
- Bio-Laboratory Informatics System (BLIS)
- BLIS is a data integration and management system that can integrate clinical, specimen inventory, experimental assay data.
- URVentures
- URVentures protects, develops, and commercializes the intellectual property (IP) arising from research at the University of Rochester. Before embarking on a project, be sure your IP is protected.
- Office of Regulatory Support
- The Office of Regulatory Support (ORS) offers services to support investigators with the submission of Investigational New Drug (IND) and Investigational Device Exception applications to the FDA.
- Biostatistics Consulting Service
- The Department of Biostatistics and Computational Biology of the School of Medicine and Dentistry offers a statistical consulting service to support faculty and non-faculty researchers of the Medical Center, as well as investigators outside the Medical Center who require help with projects and grant preparation, depending on the staffing level and the mutual interest between statisticians and investigators. Services range from purely advisory assistance to complete statistical analysis as well as support for data management. Charges for statistical consulting, programming and data management support, and computer usage are billed to investigators using established hourly rates.
- CTSI Regulatory Science
- The FDA defines Regulatory Science as "the science of developing new tools, standards, and approaches to assess the safety, efficacy, quality, and performance of all FDA-regulated products." The UR CTSI has launched a range of programs focused on advancing training, career development and research in Regulatory Science.
- UR Health Lab
- UR Health Lab is transforming the way data science is being used in medicine by developing novel tools that capture new data streams, analyze previously unseen patterns and enable health care providers to provide individualized treatments that are more responsive, effective and precise.
- Center for Health & Technology (CHET)
- The Center for Health + Technology (CHeT) is a clinical research organization within the University of Rochester with expertise in clinical trials coordination, clinical trials supply services, patient-reported outcome measures, research using novel technologies, and data modeling and predictive analytics. CHET houses the Clinical Trials Coordination Center and the Clinical Materials Services Unit.
- Center for Advanced Research Technologies (CART)
-
The Center for Advanced Research Technologies (CART) is a collection of core facilities within URMC that share resources and expertise with our 3,000+ researchers and 500+ labs, and with principal investigators both inside and outside URMC. We provide the equipment, personnel, and analysis to move your research forward.
