Research Support for Cincinnati Children’s Investigators and Industry Sponsors

Few pediatric institutions have the infrastructure of an internal department such as the Office for Clinical and Translational Research (OCTR). The OCTR’s 45-plus multidisciplinary team functions as an in-house agency or “one-stop” clinical research support center for investigators and industry sponsors. It assists both investigators and sponsors from concept development to publication.

Our mission is to provide Cincinnati Children’s clinical research investigators and industry sponsors with comprehensive support services, research tools, experienced research personnel, and facilities to conduct or facilitate pediatric and adult clinical research from identification and development of research opportunities to phase I through phase IV clinical research trials.

With the addition of the Clinical Sciences Pavilion in 2015, we can now provide sponsors and CROs with access to over 1.4 million square feet of dedicated research space – making us one of the largest pediatric research facilities in the country.
