We are pleased to introduce an exciting new resource for our faculty and trainees: the Duke Orthopaedic Clinical Research Portal. This portal is designed to guide you through the research process, offering clickable links that take you from initial idea to project execution.
With this new tool, we aim to foster a collaborative and innovative research environment that supports researchers and staff. By focusing on compliance, excellence, and continuous improvement, we strive to elevate the quality of Duke's clinical research.
What’s Inside?
The portal offers comprehensive guidance on “how to do research” from the ground up, including steps for developing and executing clinical research projects. Whether you're new to clinical research or looking for specific resources, this platform will be an invaluable tool in helping you navigate the process.
For those visiting the Clinical Research Portal site, you'll find helpful resources for:
* Educating yourself on the research process
* Accessing funding opportunities
* Reducing repeated questions and clarifications
The CRU has done an exceptional job in developing this invaluable tool. Their hard work and dedication have truly brought this project to life. They will showcase the site at an upcoming Grand Rounds and monthly faculty meeting. We encourage you to explore the portal and fully utilize the available resources. Your feedback will be crucial as we continue to enhance and refine the platform.
Thank you for your dedication to excellence in clinical research!
All the best,
Ben Alman, MD, Chair, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery
