Investigator-Initiated Research Funding at the Graduate School of Medicine
At the medical center and Graduate School of Medicine, conducting meaningful innovative research for patients and their families is an important part of our mission. An investigator-initiated research coordinator is responsible for supporting and managing research studies designed and led by a principal investigator at the medical center. This role involves coordinating all aspects of investigator- initiated trials or research projects, ensuring compliance with regulatory guidelines and facilitating communication between stakeholders. For academic clinicians, a research coordinator is needed to organize and streamline efforts that would otherwise delay or hinder progress. We remain incredibly grateful for Axle Logistics’ investment, supporting our investigator-initiated oncology research coordinators. These research coordinators allow our faculty and clinicians the support they need to implement, manage and execute projects per local and federal regulations without disruptions in their clinical responsibilities.
In addition, these coordinators ensure that oncology investigator-initiated research projects are completed in a reasonable amount of time. This allows data findings to be generated, analyzed and disseminated through national and international conference presentations, submitted to scientific journals, circulated to our health community partners and stakeholders, and implemented into practice when applicable. Through the philanthropic support of Axle Logistics, the Graduate School of Medicine was able to fund two research coordinator positions that are crucial to the success of various studies and projects.
