Research Central
Research Central serves as a portal to access the Clinical and Translational Research Center (CTRC) resources, advertise studies, and discover educational groups such as the UNC Network for Research Professionals, training opportunities and resources.
UNC-NRP
The UNC Network for Research Professionals (NRP) in collaboration with NC TraCS hosts a variety of training and mentoring opportunities for clinical research personnel.
Recruitment Services
Research for Me @UNC links volunteers with researchers at UNC for participation in clinical research including patient-oriented research, epidemiological and behavioral studies, and outcomes and human services research.
Investigational Drug Services (IDS)
On UNC Health's Investigational Drug Services (IDS) webpage, you will find contact information, standard operating procedures, and frequently asked questions. The goal is to ensure study sponsors have answers to questions and access to pertinent information.
Office of Clinical Trials
The OCT serves as a central resource for UNC faculty, staff and departments involved in clinical trials research and for sponsors seeking to conduct clinical trials at UNC.
Human Research Core
The Human Research Core is a clinical facility located within the UNC Nutrition Research Institute on the North Carolina Research Campus in Kannapolis, NC just 30 minutes north of Charlotte. The Core is complete with examination rooms and equipment, pharmacy, phlebotomy laboratory, specimen laboratory, and furnished consultation rooms. For nutrition intervention studies, the core offers a metabolic kitchen specifically designed to support nutrition research. The Whole-Room Calorimeter, essential for studies on energy balance and fuel use (and the only one in the Carolinas), is an advanced research suite which uses indirect calorimetry to evaluate a research participant's 24-hour energy balance (intake and expenditure).

Nutrition Services
The Metabolic and Nutrition Research Core specializes in the development and production of controlled nutrient meals for feeding studies. The core is staffed by a registered dietitian and dietetic technicians all experienced in the production of controlled meals, recipes and oral food challenges for research studies. Food production occurs in a state-inspected kitchen facility operated by UNC Healthcare Food and Nutrition Services. The core works closely with the CTRC to provide meals and other services to studies conducted at the center.
Services include consultation on study design and nutrition research methods, design of nutrient controlled meals and recipes, production of nutrient controlled meals, nutrient intake analysis, education material development, nutrition counseling, food record analysis, indirect calorimetry, anthropometric measurements, and training on anthropometric measurement methods. Nutrient controlled meals can be served at the CTRC, packed out for consumption at home, and shipped to participants and other research sites.
