Clinical Trials Navigation and Management and Financial Services

The Clinical Trials Office assists investigators, scholars, and staff in the conduct of clinical research by providing managed navigation through research-related resources and services available at UC Davis. Whether you have an idea, are applying for a grant, or trying to implement a new trial, our experts are available to assist with expert consultations or hands-on activities. We guide investigational teams through the myriad of local, state, and federal requirements. Our team of highly trained clinical research coordinators, and budget specialists are available to assist investigators in conducting and supporting all phases of a clinical research protocol.

When you contact the Clinical Trials Office for services, the CRC Supervisor will review your project needs, discuss specifics and create a project plan that may involve additional experts from other areas of knowledge and services. Consultations are free of charge. Should you need a team to manage your study, we will allocate staff based on expertise and availability. We track project hours in a time tracking system and provide a detailed account of all hours spent. Services are charged to the funding source at the set hourly rates and billed monthly.

Assistance with Financial Aspects of Clinical Trials
We offer budget consultation services to researchers interested in applying for extramural funding for protocols related to human subject research. Using tools developed by our office such as the study feasibility template and unified budget template, our Finance Manager will work with you to identify study costs from your protocol and provide guidance on how to obtain quotes for services. Once estimated costs are compiled, results are then adapted into the UC Davis or grant-specific budget template. If you are interested in this free service, you can schedule a consultation using the online request form below. If you have any questions regarding coverage analysis, please direct them to the OnCore CTMS team. 

We also offer financial support in the OnCore CTMS system with invoice creation, logging invoiceable milestones, and sponsor payment reconciliation. Services related to OnCore are charged at $72 per hour.
