Site-Based Research
Site-Based research refers to clinical research where Stanford is identified as the site, which means the research is being conducted by Stanford investigators and staff, and it takes place on the Stanford campus, at Stanford Health Care, or in the local community. This can include studies in which participants never actually visit Stanford (survey studies) – but there is contact with a participant by a Stanford investigator or staff member.
The Site-Based Research arm of SCCR supports research studies and staff throughout the Department of Medicine, and partners on research studies throughout the School of Medicine. We focus on infrastructure development and developing robust research programs.

Key Initiatives
Research Manager Model
A Research Manager provides portfolio management and staff support to Divisions and large research teams and serves as a liaison to our quality and training programs. This model helps broaden research success from a single study to an entire program, balance and grow a research portfolio, optimize staff resources through a dedicated coordinator pool, and leverage best practices. We’ve shown great success with our flagship partner in the Student Athlete Research Oversite Committee.
OnCore -Clinical Trials Management System
SCCR is helping Divisions engaged in the Research Manager model, and across the Department, roll-out the School of Medicine’s clinical trials management system (CTMS), OnCore. In partnership with Spectrum, SCCR led the design and pilot implementation of the OnCore expansion and is excited to move the Department forward as a leader in research portfolio organization and the benefits a CTMS will provide to the infrastructure across the School of Medicine.
