The Scripps Clinical Research Center houses the Scripps Health’s 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 20 mile radius of Scripps, to bring novel therapeutic, diagnostic, bio-technical, and medical devices into its portfolio of studies.
