Conducting Research on the GCRC

GCRC Protocols

In an effort to promote the highest quality in clinical research and make the most of limited federal funding, the NIH requires that GCRCs be selective in distributing their support. Therefore, an application process is required. Because medical research is highly regulated, the process is complicated.  The information in the subsequent sections is provided to assist you in applying for use of GCRC services and conducting your study on the GCRC. 

We are happy to assist you with this process. As a first step, please schedule a meeting with Laurie Lester (see contact below) to review the application requirements.  As you prepare your application, please feel free to contact our staff to discuss your protocol requirements or to request additional information. Your cooperation in completing these necessary steps will help to expedite the process.

NIH Public Access Policy ensures that the public has access to the published results of NIH funded research. It requires scientists to submit final peer-reviewed journal manuscripts that arise from NIH funds to the digital archive PubMed Central upon acceptance for publication. This policy became effective with manuscripts accepted for publication on or after April 7, 2008. UVM's Office of Sponsored Programs has more information on its web page.
