After Protocol Approval

Once your protocol is approved by the GCRC SAC and all required documents are on file with our office you may:

• Meet with the Nurse Manager to discuss protocol implementation and educate the nursing staff on your study needs.
• Prepare study materials. The nursing staff will assist you in designing and developing flow sheets, labels, and other documents.
• Schedule study dates with the Nurse Manager and with other services required for your study.
• Recruit subjects. The Recruitment & Retention Core and the Nurse Manager can assist you with this process.
• Consent forms must include the GCRC protocol number affixed after CPHS approval.
• A copy of the patient´s signed consent form must be submitted to the GCRC office on the patient´s first visit/admission
