Site-Based Research
Site-Based Research refers to clinical research where Stanford is identified as the primary site. Meaning 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 are not required to visit Stanford in person, such as survey studies. Regardless, participants will still have contact with a Stanford research investigator or staff member.
The Site-Based Research branch 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.
To discuss how your group could benefit from SBR initiatives, contact the SCCR team. A staff member will respond as soon as possible.
Key Initiatives
Research Manager Model
A Research Manager provides portfolio management and staff support to Divisions and large research teams. The Research Manager will also serve as a liaison to our quality and training programs. This model helps broaden research success from a single study to an entire program. It also has been shown to grow a research portfolio, optimize staff resources via 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. Our team 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.
Project Baseline
Project Baseline is a collaborative effort between Stanford Medicine, Duke School of Medicine, Verily, and Google to collect comprehensive health data to better understand health and prevent disease.
Resources for Coordinators
Coordinators throughout the Department of Medicine are supported through our Education and Training programs, including networking opportunities, and Quality Initiatives.
Student Athlete Research Oversight Committee
Launched in 2015 under the leadership of SCCR, SaROC is a partnership with the Departments of Athletics and Orthopedics to guide and support the conduct of high-quality research with Stanford student-athletes, while ensuring their welfare as research participants.
