Jefferson Clinical Research Institute

Mission, Goals, Capabilities

The Jefferson Clinical Research Institute (JCRI)  provides a vital service for Jefferson faculty. By offering faculty clinical research services incorporating the highest standards, JCRI allows Jefferson to expand its clinical research capabilities, particularly in areas that do not have sufficient research infrastructure.

In addition to site-based research, an important part of our plan is to develop clinical research networks with regional healthcare providers in order to coordinate multicenter studies with external partners. JCRI will achieve the successful completion of investigator-initiated and industry-sponsored research projects by offering our services in project management, contract and budget negotiation, study start-up, and implementation.
