Welcome

The Office of Clinical and Translational Research (OCTR) was developed in response to a growing need for a centralized approach to the administration of clinical trials at the University of Connecticut Health Center. Investigators can select services as their needs dictate, and our staff can answer questions regarding clinical trial agreements, clinical trial budgets, and research financial compliance. Clinical trials contracts with industry are negotiated exclusively through this office. It is a “win-win-win” relationship for administrators, investigators, and sponsors.

Administration and Services

The Office of Clinical and Translational Research provides more than contract and budget negotiation. Our office also provides services related to retrospective information on patient enrollment and the status of clinical trials in progress at the institution. Additionally, staff in OCTR will register investigator initiated studies on clinicaltrials.gov to meet publication prerequisites required by journals and mandated by FDA Amendments Act of 2007.

Research Financial Compliance and Monitoring

Staff in the OCTR will monitor the financial component of clinical trials to confirm that we are meeting institutional, as well as state and federal regulations. Research Financial Compliance auditing, monitoring and close-out of FRS accounts are all pieces of the continuous monitoring process for all clinical trials which are being done at the University of Connecticut Health Center.

Questions

If you have any questions regarding the services provided by the staff in the OCTR or you would like to set up an appointment to discuss services, please call us at 860-679-7816.
