The Department integrates and coordinates core facilities essential to the planning, conduct, and analysis of clinical research.  Faculty with appointments in the Department of Clinical Sciences (and trainees) have facilitated access to key core multidisciplinary resources and facilities of potential importance to all clinical research.  Some of these resources/facilities are an inherent part of the Department , whereas others lie outside the Department but have close interactive relationships with the Department.
