Clinical Trials Business


The Clinical Trials Business office ensures all financial, regulatory and contractual aspects of a Carle research study are in place prior to its activation and throughout its life.


Ensuring Financial and Regulatory Compliance

The Clinical Trials Business office manages clinical research billing – including Medicare billing analysis – to determine routine costs in qualifying clinical trials and to ensure proper coding of charges for research participants. 


Finance

The research finance team negotiates study budgets with sponsors, invoices for research activities, and confirms receipt of payment.

Regulatory

The research regulatory team assists with Institutional Review Board (IRB) submissions, notification of approval, and facilitates modifications to existing research. We provide informed consent and essential document controls and provide access to the current approved protocol documents. The business office also provides support for FDA Expanded Access studies and information about research training.
