Mission

Columbia-Presbyterian Center's Office of Clinical Trials, opened in 1992, is one of the first and most successful of its kind in the United States. It has set a pattern of operation emulated by many other institutions here and abroad.

The Office's broad Mission is to further promote the excellence, scope, and efficiency of clinical research activities at the Columbia University Health Sciences Division, the New York Presbyterian Hospital, and the New York Presbyterian Healthcare Network. We provide a wide range of support services to our professional staff, freeing investigators to focus on their research.

Our principal responsibilities include but are not limited to:

Maintenance of an efficient administrative unit capable of quickly negotiating and executing Clinical Trials Agreements
Management of ongoing clinical research contracts, including account control, collection and distribution of clinical funds, and computerized management reporting tools to monitor these activities
Provision of expert project control and financial services such as the formulation and review of clinical trial budgets
Stimulation of new clinical research activities
Improvement and support of the Medical Center's institutional infrastructure for clinical research

Bridging institutional lines, the Office of Clinical Trials represents all of our network institutions and is the only administrative unit your company needs to deal with when exploring the potentials for clinical trial placement and when negotiating a Clinical Trial Agreement.
