Contracts and Clinical Trials Office

ABOUT THE CONTRACTS & CLINICAL TRIALS OFFICE


Our Mission

Our mission is to facilitate the conduct of industry-sponsored research and clinical trials by our investigators, whether at LSUHSC or at affiliated clinics and hospitals. By providing a set of services across the contracts and clinical trial lifecycle, we serve as a central resource for principal investigators, study staff, and collaborators involved in research and for sponsors seeking to conduct reseaerch at our institution. Our goal is to promote and support organized, high-quality research and, in so doing, further LSUHSC's mission of excellence in patient care, research, education, and community service.
