Research Administration Office at University of Colorado Hospital

As the Research Administration Office for the University of Colorado Hospital, our charge is to govern clinical research taking place in the hospital. This website provides investigators and research coordinators with the policies and procedures required to propose and conduct clinical research at UCH. The site contains a variety of forms, instructions, and links to help facilitate research endeavors. The Research Administration Office and the Hospital Research Review Committee (HRRC) hope this website will be an efficient and valuable resource for individuals conducting and participating in clinical research at UCH.
