Scripps Clinical Research Center (CRS)

The Scripps Clinical Research Center houses the Scripps Health Division of Clinical Research Services (CRS). The CRS is the core provider of Scripps resources for participant and clinical interactions. CRS seeks opportunities to collaborate with the over 550 local pharmaceutical development companies within a twenty-mile radius of Scripps bringing novel therapeutic, diagnostic, bio-technical, and medical devices into its portfolio of studies. CRS capitalizes on this tremendous resource of innovation and collaboration in Scripps backyard to benefit San Diego and its environs by managing and/or overseeing all aspects of clinical research conducted in Scripps facilities and programs. As Scripps revitalizes its proud 83-year medical research and education heritage, these opportunities are fully available to the Scripps Translational Science Institute (STSI) with the explicit goal of taking translational medical research to a new level of excellence through intra- and inter-institutional collaborations.

CRS Main Objectives

Integrate and streamline the participant and clinical support components of STSI translational/clinical research that drive progress in individualized medicine.
Maximize the testing of new drugs and technologies by taking advantage of Scripps diverse subject population and variety of health care delivery methods.
Promote a culture of compliance by modeling ethical behavior and teaching Good Clinical Practice and scientific integrity that pervades all areas of STSI research. Support the training and continuing education of translational/clinical investigators and research workers with an innovative and cohesive education program.

CRS provides centralized and comprehensive infrastructure that supports CRS system process and other clinical research activities throughout the enterprise. These functional service areas cover seven key functional areas: administration, grants, regulatory and compliance, research informatics, bio statistics, operations and staff support, and support services.
