Services
Perioperative clinical research support
Centralized support providing study development, IRB submission assistance, regulatory oversight, contracts management, data management, biostatistics and informatics support for perioperative and pain-related research.
Committee-based study review and methodological consultation
Rapid review and studio sessions to refine study methodology, triage resources for projects, and provide written feedback and discussion with senior investigators.
Biostatistics voucher program
Voucher-based mechanism to fund a limited number of biostatistics collaboration hours for eligible projects combined with pre-application consultation at biostatistics clinics.
Institutional EHR–genomic research platform
Platform that curates and links clinical data from electronic health records with genomic data to enable genotype–phenotype discovery and translational research.
Analytical Services Core (hormone and lipid assays)
Core laboratory providing sensitive assays (RIA, HPLC, multiplex immunoassays, ELISA, GC, FPLC) for hormones, lipids, amino acids, oxidative stress and inflammation markers, including method development and technical training.
Implementation and quality improvement consultation
Consultation services in implementation science and improvement methodology, hybrid/pragmatic study design, measurement selection, mixed-methods evaluation and grant/manuscript assistance.
