As a member of the Clinical Translational Sciences Awards consortium (CTSA), the NC TraCS Institute seeks to create new programs and pathways to facilitate clinical and translational research at UNC and throughout North Carolina.

The CTRC offers investigators a variety of research support services, including access to inpatient and outpatient examination rooms, a staff of highly-skilled research professionals, an investigators laboratory, nutrition research support, and an oral health research facility. In addition, CTRC staff can assist you with study start-up, from the preparation of the IRB application and CTRC addendum to the sponsor regulatory package, budget negotiations and and internal processing form. Other services include assistance with pre-study feasibility, patient recruitment, study budgeting, letters of support, and research coordinator orientation. The CTRC also offers adult and pediatric research coordinator services.
