OUR SERVICES

"I have previously found the obstacles to initiating clinical research at Stanford to be daunting, and have at times refrained from starting important early studies due to limitations on my time which precluded completing the IRB, contracting, and budgeting processes. I am delighted to let you know, that the CHRP services and resources have made a big difference in this process, and have greatly enhanced my ability to lead and participate in clinical trials. I am particularly impressed by the expertise you have developed in budgeting for trials, and in analysing protocols to determine the time commitments of coordinators and investigators. Thank you for this important assistance."
Dr. David Rosenthal, CHRP Client
