The information
on this page is for clinicians conducting research at Memorial Health.
Basic, clinical, and translational research are integral components of medical
education at Memorial Health. Basic research provides a fundamental
understanding of molecules, mechanisms, cellular processes, and genetic
mutations associated with diseases and disorders. Clinical research produces
knowledge essential for understanding human disease, preventing and treating
illness, and promoting health. Translational research brings discovery directly
from the laboratory to the patient bedside in a short amount of time. All three
forms of research improve and advance patient care.
Researchers not
employed by Memorial Health, but who want the Memorial Health Institutional
Review Board (IRB) to review their project, must read and complete the
following: Determining the Difference between Clinical Research and
Quality/Performance Improvement (see attachment). All forms are
required to begin the research and review process.
Researchers
employed by Memorial Health should log in to NetLearning and
complete the CBL module, Determining the Difference between Clinical
Research and Quality/Performance Improvement. All research and
performance improvement projects must provide documentation that this module
has been completed. |
