Research Facilitator Services
CTSI research facilitators are here to assist you throughout the research process. They provide a wide range of support from identifying resources and funding opportunities to identifying collaborators, helping with study design and regulatory submissions, and assisting with participant recruitment studies. Facilitators work with investigators and coordinators as well as staff, academic trainees, and students with a goal to facilitate research and reduce barriers to the research process.

CTSI research facilitators are available to meet with you.
