Office of Clinical Research Facilitation (OCFR)

Our mission is to support the research community facilitate quality clinical trial research by enhancing operational processes from contract initiation through completion of the trial. We assist with clinical trials supported by industry contracts (including investigator-initiated trials).
 
The Office of Clinical Research Facilitation (OCRF) reviews and approves all clinical trials that are conducted at Children’s Medical Center, Parkland Health and Hospital System, Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children, and UT Southwestern Medical Center for which a UT Southwestern faculty member serves as the principal investigator.
