GCRC Advisory Committee

  Charge. The GCRC Advisory Committee (GAC) provides oversight for the General Clinical Research Center, as required by NIH/NCRR. The major charge to the GAC is to review all GCRC protocols for scientific merit and suitability for utilization of GCRC resources. A protocol must be approved by the GAC and given a scientific priority score before any study-related procedures begins. Priority for utilization of the GCRC is determined by the priority score and by any recommendations made by the committee regarding use of particular GCRC resources.

GCRC Executive Committee

  This committee consists of the Program Director (PD) (Chair), Associate and Assistant Program Directors, Research Subject Advocate, Administrator, Nurse Manager, Bionutrition Manager and the Biostatistician. The Main GCRC Administrative Associate and the Administrative Coordinator of the CREO staff the committee.

This committee meets monthly to coordinate the daily administrative management and to plan the strategic direction of the GCRC. This administrative structure is supplemented by weekly, individual meetings between the PD and the Associate PD, Assistant PD, RSA, Administrator, Nurse Manager, and Bionutrition Research Manager, respectively. Monthly individual meetings are held between the PD and the Biostatistician. Once a month, the Program Director and Administrator meet with the nurses as a group and meet with the Bionutrition staff as a group as requested by the Bionutrition Manager. Monthly meetings are held also with the Quality Management and Safety Committee. Although the GCRC Sleep Laboratory is not an official GCRC Core, the technical nature of the Sleep Laboratory and its location in the GCRC unit results in administrative issues that need resolution. Therefore, the PD also meets as necessary with the Director of the GCRC Sleep Lab Laboratory.
