Introduction

The Data Coordinating Center fills the unique role of providing support to RCMI investigators across the 18 RTRN sites. While the specifics of support provided depends on the unique needs of the investigators, the overall goal is to enhance and expedite investigators’ research by providing technologies, tools, expertise and services that are customized to the investigators’ needs.

By doing this, the DCC strives to alleviate some of the technological and operational burden from researchers, allowing them to save time and effort when planning, conducting, analyzing, and reporting their human health research activities.

From proposal or protocol development through study design, coordination, implementation, data capture, management, analysis and publication, the DCC is ready to support your work.

Capabilities

DCC provides effective study design, high-quality data systems and management, training and coordination, statistical analysis and reporting, and study logistics support to facilitate CLINICAL, BEHAVORIAL, and BASIC SCIENCE research projects.
