Professional and experienced study coordinators and project managers

A service for investigators across UNC-Chapel Hill and the UNC Health Care System.

The Research Coordination & Management Unit (RCMU) supports UNC-Chapel Hill and UNC Health Care System investigators in conducting high quality clinical and translational research — ensuring regulatory compliance, procedural efficiency, and data collection best practices.

As part of the NC TraCS Institute*, we provide study coordinators and project managers equipped to perform a wide range of study coordination services to investigators across UNC and UNCHCS while:

  • Developing and disseminating operating procedures and best practice guidelines to standardize research processes across projects, promoting compliance
  • Leveraging CTSA resources to offer innovative approaches to improve the quality and efficiency of research project execution and data collection
  • Providing a model of multi-disciplinary continuous education and improvement to promote professional development of research coordinators
  • Establishing effective relationships and communication practices to bolster successful collaborations

RCMU services are offered at an hourly recharge rate.
