Upcoming CCTS Events
The Informatics Gateway is an enterprise-wide forum for collaborative project development. The Gateway gathers experts in the appropriate area of informatics, along with biostatisticians, methodologists, and clinical and translational scientists, to help investigators explore novel research directions (for a list of the core members on our Gateway team and to learn more about this unique collaborative opportunity, see our Informatics Gateway poster). To submit a project idea for consideration, fill in our Informatics Gateway Request Form or contact CCTS Research Commons at

Advanced Scientific Review of Clinical Research
Studies involving human subjects play a vital role in the translation of scientific discovery to impact health. To be successful, these projects rely on rigorous and scientifically valid study design, detailed analytic plans and operational feasibility. Formal Scientific Review Committees (SRCs) play a critical role in this process by partnering with investigators to assess methodologic rigor, study feasibility and data management plans. These committees also offer a level of protocol pre-review to harmonize documentation and to potentially reduce the time to IRB approval.Click below to access the Scientific Review Committee pertinent to your clinical research initiative:
| Department of Medicine Scientific Review Committee (SRC) The DOM SRC reviews all non-cancer-related projects within the Department of Medicine. |
Comprehensive Cancer Center Clinical Trials Review Committee (CTRC) The CTRC reviews all cancer-related projects at UAB. |
