Protocols
Location*
• Active protocols
– Inpatient- CRC White 13 = 47 (22%)
– Outpatient = 203 (94%)
– “Scatter” = 19 (11%)
• Inpatient = 5
• Outpatient = 15
*Many studies use more than one site
MGH Clinical Research Center
Charges for Services Offered for
Investigator-initiated Protocols
• All services for approved protocols provided
free of charge except for relatively rare
services that are above usual services offered, e.g.
- Nursing services that require 1 on 1 care
- Frequent blood draws
- DEXA scans- surcharge per scan
- Weighed meals
Support for Investigators
Investigator-Initiated Studies
• Outpatient/inpatient beds free
• Nursing/nutrition/statistics/design support all
with no charge
• Ancillary support for routine labs for junior
investigators
• Access to inexpensive central laboratories and
other CATALYST resources
• Strongly suggest that investigators meet with
CRC leadership before budgets submitted
Support for Investigators
Ancillary Support Available
• Unique to CATALYST CRC- helps support lab tests
• Budget constraints have lead to changes over time
• As of 10/1/15
– Ancillary support for senior faculty (Associate
Professor and higher) no longer available
• 5/1/15-4/30/16 (junior faculty only)
– For studies previously awarded ancillary support,
funding at $50 per visit (maximum) will continue
– For new studies, junior faculty can request up to
$2500 per study
• 5/1/16- availability of future ancillary funding will
depend on future levels of CATALYST funding
Support for Investigators
Industry-Initiated Studies
• Represent ~10% of all CRC studies
• Study investigator/sponsor pays full costs
– Outpatient/inpatient beds
– Staffing- nursing, nutrition, other
– Procedures
– Lab tests
• Pricing of services available upon request
• Strongly suggest that investigators meet with
CRC leadership before budgets submitted
MGH Clinical Research Center
Application
Applications from a faculty level investigator
(similar to HRC application) go through
- centralized scientific review (if not
previously peer-reviewed) and
- local resource review

MGH Clinical Research Center
What’s New?
• Medical Research Officer Program
- Provides NP and MD support specifically
to non-MD or non-MGH investigators who
are not credentialed to provide clinical
care/supervision required and for MGH
investigators who need assistance.
• Combined unit with new MGH Translational
Research Program.

Combined CRC and TRC
• Combined unit with new MGH Translational
Research Program.
• Translational Research Center
- A new clinical research center dedicated
to supporting first in human (Phase 1 and
2), bench to bedside types of study, and
especially geared to working with industry
- Unit being established with funding from
hospital under direction of Mason
Freeman, M.D.
MGH Clinical Research Center
Combined CRC and TRC
• Combined Clinical Research Center
- New combined unit being constructed on
White 12, with part of White 13 retained
(~50% larger than current CRC).
o 16 inpatient beds
o Outpatient space with procedure room
- The new combined unit will take advantage
of CRC staffing and expertise and provide
synergy between the two operations.
- Anticipated opening in 15 months (~8/16)
MGH Clinical Research Center
The Future
• The Catalyst program is supported by a
Clinical Translational Science Award program
grant from NCATS and by contributions from
Harvard, HMS, and the AHCs.
• Our grant has another 3-years of support.
• The most recent RFA issued by NCATS has
- Far less funding ($10 million per year) than
we have in our current grant and
- Reduced support for CRCs.
MGH Clinical Research Center
The Future
• If the RFA issued most recently by NCATS is
continued at the time of our renewal, the
current CRC would lose much of its NIH
support.
• NIH support for clinical research would have to
revert to the sponsoring Institutes.
MGH Clinical Research Center
The Future
• MGH is committed to clinical research.
• If the NIH support is reduced, the MGH will find
a way to continue support of the CRC.
