Clinical Research Core

The Department of Anesthesia and Perioperative Care’s Clinical Research Core provides support to principal investigators in clinical trial administration, statistical analysis, and data management. The mission of the Core is to facilitate clinical research projects to advance the fields of anesthesia, perioperative medicine, pain management, and critical care medicine.

We are committed to providing investigators with access to CRCs and statisticians whose work ethic aligns with the UCSF PRIDE values: Professionalism, Respect, Integrity, Diversity, and Excellence. The Core consists of a clinical research supervisor, clinical research coordinators (CRCs), and statisticians. Our statisticians are available for complementary consultations or can devote effort to funded projects. The Core also provides guidance to principal investigators regarding hiring, recruiting, onboarding, and training of clinical research coordinators.

 To work with the Core, contact Lauren Dickey and fill out our intake form.
