CCCRCG Advisory Group
Who we are
Research coordinators have a unique perspective on clinical trials in the ICU and often have insights into how to facilitate enrollment into a research study. The CCCRCG Advisory Group has been created to help CCCTG investigators to enhance study feasibility by providing input into study protocols and study operationalization and troubleshooting recruitment challenges. Our main functions are to: (i) review and provide input into grant applications (including study budgets) and study protocols to provide feedback from an RC perspective; and (ii) consult with CCCTG investigators on questions related to study operations, recruitment, study design, etc.
The members of the CCCRCG Advisory Group are listed below. Our members have volunteered to help review grants and/or protocols and to answer questions from CCCTG investigators. Please use the consult request form below to get in touch with the CCCRCG Advisory Group.
