  3. Topics • What is the DCRI? • Placing the DCRI in context • DCRI facts • Operational advantages

  4. What is the DCRI? An academic research organization: Integrates the scientific thought leadership of an academic medical center and the operational capabilities of a CRO Provides a full range of clinical research services conducted to worldwide regulatory standards Provides access to core laboratories and specialized research tools Linked to academic health centers, professional societies, advocacy groups, regulatory agencies Fully oriented to the public private partnership space In operation for over 25 years

  5. Our mission . . . to develop and share knowledge that improves the care of patients around the world through innovative clinical research. Duke Clinical Research Institute

  6. How Is the DCRI Different….? From other Academic Research Centers... Operational capability to manage trial types from Phase I to global multi-center clinical research Possession of the complete infrastructure to needed to sustain clinical research Compared with Clinical Research Organizations…. Experienced Clinicians as Faculty Researchers dedicated to the Academic mission Extensive Relationships with and appointments at regulatory agencies including the FDA and the NIH institutes Ability to take research from Bedside to Clinical Research to Bedside

  7. Topics • What is the DCRI? • Placing the DCRI in context • DCRI facts • Operational advantages

  11. DCRU Facilities • 30,000 sq ft professional Phase I Unit • 60 beds, including • -Dormitory rooms accommodating 8 adult or 6 pediatric beds, a 30 bed adult confinement unit, and 10 licensed hospital beds including 2 “infant family rooms”; permits “standard-of-care” services • 30,000 sq ft professional Phase I Unit • Linked to Singapore (30 beds) and Medanta (100 beds)

  12. Under the Umbrella or Connected DCRI

  13. CTSAs Emphasize Public Private Partnerships • Integrate translational and clinical science by fostering collaboration between ….between institutions and industry • Provide a point of contact for partnerships with industry, foundations and community physicians as appropriate
