Office of Clinical Research

The Office of Clinical Research (OCR) provides tools and services to help University of Rochester Medical Center faculty and staff with the administration of clinical trials. By streamlining the processes behind clinical research, we hope to empower our clinical research teams to do more high-impact clinical trials that can advance clinical discovery and offer patients and community members more options and opportunities. We also make it easier for researchers to comply with clinical trial rules and regulations and produce successful outcomes.Office of Clinical Research infographic: Feasibility - In the 2021-2022 fiscal year, the OCR received 215 multi-site clinical trial opportunities from TriNetX, CROs and industry sponsors.
