BSD PED - Clinical Trials Office

In the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Chicago, we strive to provide the highest level of complex care for children from diagnosis and treatment to conducting research to find promising new therapies with a focus on teaching. We are committed to advancing the frontiers of knowledge, and the education and training of future clinical pediatricians, subspecialists, educators, clinical investigators and physician-scientists. The Department of Pediatrics is a dynamic, stimulating place to work, and because we are focused on growth and improved excellence, our staff have particularly challenging and rewarding roles.   

The Pediatric Clinical Trials Office (Peds CTO) is an existing centralized support office that provides services and high-level guidance to individuals (faculty, investigators, research staff, and clinic coordinators from the University and Hospital) involved in human subjects research. The Peds CTO is responsible for establishing standards, operating procedures, policies and practices, implementing educational and training programs, developing communication tools, and managing the administrative functions that impact individuals involved in clinical research.   

The Clinical Research Coordinator 2 (CRC2) in Pediatrics provides research support within the Department of Pediatrics. The CRC 2 works under the general direction of the Director of Clinical Research, a principal investigator (PI), and the study team. The CRC 2 will be involved in multiple research trial types: multi-centered cooperative group and intergroup studies at a national level, multi-institutional pharmaceutical trials, and multi-centered trials designed, implemented and coordinated in a disease-specific Section.
