Program Description

The Participant and Clinical Interactions Resources (PCIR) program ensures that flexible, carefully monitored resources necessary for patient-oriented research are available to investigators at all levels conducting studies relevant to human health. The goals of the UC Davis CTSC PCIR program is achieved through the following specific objectives:

  1. Facilitate and expand patient-oriented research by providing all investigators with well-publicized and integrated resources for interactions with participants.
  2. Clearly and uniformly prioritize the access of researchers to PCIR program resources.
  3. Optimize the enrollment of eligible patients into clinical trials by assisting investigators with community-based recruitment, providing clinical research personnel when appropriate, and making available mobile facilities for data collection as required.
  4. Promote patient safety, and ensure high scientific standards.
  5. Assure that usage and performance are carefully tracked to improve/adapt our resources as required.
