One of the benefits of seeking care at an academic medical center such as University Medical Center is that health professionals are on the leading edge of medical research and scholarship. Many of our physicians, pharmacists, nurses and other scientists are conducting research to better understand and diagnose a variety of diseases and to develop and test new therapies and drugs, and to devise preventative interventions that have a reasonable expectation of success.
Site Review Authority
The purpose of the UMC Site Review Authority is to review and provide UMC Research Site approval with regard to information security, staffing and regulatory compliance.
Principal investigators who have received Institutional Review Board approval and want to use UMC as the site of their research studies must contact either Anita Crockett or Valerie Evans, co-chairs, UMC Site Review Authority, by e-mailing SRA@umcaz.edu or faxing to (520) 694-0261.
The principal investigator is to provide the following in electronic format for review:
- Institutional Review Board Approval (HSPP Correspondence)
- IRB Application with attachments.
- Protocol
- A calendar or matrix that summarizes the activities and procedures the enrollees will be subject to identifying those which are for research as distinct from standard of care and a copy of the patient consent form.
- Notice of Clinical Trial and/or Use of Investigational and/or Humanitarian Use Device Form including copy of FDA approval letter if relevant.
- Signed UMC Confidentiality form if you are not a member of the UMC work force.
Requests for Limited Data Set
Request for Patient Lists for Research
UMC Confidentiality Agreement
(must be completed by anyone who is not a member of the UMC Workforce.)
Notice of Clinical Trial and/or Investigational and/or Humanitarian Use Device Form
Subject Study Cards (example). Must be approved by IRB for each study.
Amendments, Renewals or Continuing Review Updates
As changes are approved by the IRB to your research projects e.g. amendments, renewals, continuing review updates, Principal Investigators must provide UMC Site Review Authority copies of the IRB approvals in order to ensure that all of the individuals associated with the research project have appropriate access to systems data, etc.
Accomodation Accounts
Once principal investigators have received SRA approval to establish an accommodation account for any hospital related services including clinical laboratory tests, radiology studies, supplies, complete the appropriate form below and return with a copy of the SRA approval letter to SRA@umcaz.edu.
Note: UMC price increases may occur annually. PIs should develop their research budgets to reflect this accordingly.
Arizona Health Sciences Center Research Projects
Researchers at the University of Arizona Health Sciences Center have been awarded millions of dollars in grants from the National Institutes of Health, state and local agencies and private industry. Scores of research projects and clinical trials are underway at University Medical Center and allied Centers of Excellence on the Arizona Health Sciences Center campus. For example, please visit Arizona Cancer Center Clinicial Trials.
The Faculty Research page provides information on some research activities of faculty at The University of Arizona, including the UA Colleges of Medicine, Pharmacy and Nursing who practice at UMC. You can search by name or by subject, for example, "osteoporosis" or "valley fever."
