Clinical Research Toolkit

The OCTSI research toolkit guides researchers through every stage of a study. It begins with planning, offering assistance with study design, funding, and finding collaborators. Next, it guides users through starting their study by securing approvals and completing required training. When conducting the study, it provides tools and tips for managing participants, data, and compliance. Finally, it explains how to properly close out the study, report results, and handle final paperwork and finances.

Clinical Research Informatics

The Clinical Research Data Warehouse at OUHSC helps researchers access patient data to support health studies. It offers tools to check study feasibility, find participants, and track outcomes. Access requires approval, and the team provides guidance but not data analysis.
