The UNC Core Center for Clinical Research (CCCR) was recently awarded 5-year renewal funding from NIH/NIAMS. The renewed CCCR will be led by co-PIs Amanda E. Nelson, Professor of Medicine in the Division of Rheumatology, Allergy & Immunology (RAI), and Leigh F. Callahan, Mary Link Briggs Distinguished Professor of Medicine in RAI, Associate Director of TARC, and Director of the Osteoarthritis Action Alliance.
The overall goal of the UNC CCCR is to provide state-of-the-art resources and a rich environment to optimize clinical studies in rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (RMDs) to advance clinical care and public health efforts targeted toward individuals with RMDs. In addition to our longstanding Methodology Core, the updated Resource Core, also directed by Dr. Nelson, will build upon the groundwork that the center has laid over the past 5 years to better understand heterogeneity in both disease and treatment response. By developing and utilizing a larger, more representative dataset, the Resource Core will provide invaluable service to its research community and to early career investigators.
Services from both Cores are available for consultation and collaboration. To set up an Advisory, Brainstorming and Collaborative (ABC) session with the CCCR, please click here.
