Resources and Services | UC Davis CTSC

The Biostatistics program enhances clinical and translational research by delivering statistical expertise to investigators in the form of statistical consultations; grant proposal preparation; study design/protocol development; statistical analysis plan preparation; and data analysis/interpretation.

The CTSC Clinical Research Center provides clinical expertise for biomedical research studies. The research center is not only well-staffed with experienced clinical research nurses and research coordinators, but is also well-equipped and conveniently located on the UC Davis Health campus.

The Clinical Research Ethics resource provides expertise to researchers seeking advice regarding ethically complex aspects of their biomedical research. The service is available to assist investigators throughout the life of a research project, from the initial design phase of the study through dissemination of research findings.

Successful research studies are built on the foundation of diligent recruitment, and that's where we come in. As a dedicated Clinical Trials Recruitment team, our purpose is to streamline the recruitment process for investigators and study teams, making it as efficient and effective as possible. We recognize that finding and enrolling the right participants is crucial to the success of your research, and we are committed to helping you achieve your goals.

The Clinical Trial Management System Operations Office provides high-quality support and services to researchers and study teams conducting clinical trials at UC Davis using OnCore, a comprehensive platform designed to streamline the management of clinical trial operations.

The UC Davis Clinical and Translational Science Center (CTSC) ClinicalTrials.gov Program aims to provide researchers with assistance in fulfilling the scientific, regulatory, and ethical responsibilities associated with publicly registering and posting trial results on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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.

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 Navigation Services Finance Manager will work with you to identify study costs from your protocol and obtain quotes for services. 

The overriding objective of Pilot Program and Translational Resources is three-fold:

1. Serve a critical facilitator function
2. Encourage investigators to form multidisciplinary partnerships
3. Link investigators with the resources needed to undertake innovative studies

To implement these objectives, the program provides ready access to campus services and facilities, organizes workshops and symposia with associated calls for pilot projects, and supports local and national translational research initiatives.

The Biomedical Informatics program offers data planning and implementation services to researchers through database development and management, terminology services and training in the use of informatics research tools.

The Biorepositories Core Resource supports the advancement of the UC Davis research community’s success in biospecimen-related research by providing education, outreach and training to its faculty, staff and students as well as creating efficient biospecimen management systems for the University and its collaborators.

The EMR Research team was established to help clinical researchers take full advantage of tools within the Epic electronic medical record system for their research projects. The team consists of a dedicated group of analysts specializing in Epic's Research module. We work collaboratively with researchers in an effort to enhance the functionality and overall effectiveness of research workflows in the EMR. We offer a variety of services ranging from workflow training to study-specific requests in the EMR.
