The Clinical Trials Support Office (CTSO) offers comprehensive services to guide research teams through every stage of clinical trial planning and execution. From early sponsor engagement and feasibility assessments to study startup and regulatory submissions, the CTSO provides hands-on support with protocol review, contract and budget development, and coordination with PITT and UPMC offices. The team assists with IRB and ancillary committee submissions, legal agreements, operational planning, and the implementation of research technologies like OnCore and BRIDGES. Ongoing services include quality assurance, audit preparation, recruitment strategy, and financial management—such as billing plans, invoicing, cost tracking, and revenue reconciliation. The CTSO also supports trial closeout activities and ensures compliance with institutional and regulatory requirements, helping investigators conduct efficient, high-quality research from start to finish.
