Research

Our department maintains a strong commitment to research. Our staff regularly participate in research projects, both in conjunction with the medical staff and independently. In addition, our pharmacists serve as study coordinators, co-investigators and clinical monitors in many investigational drug studies.

Members of the department have developed original protocols for clinical research and have supported the medical staff in preparing grant applications and physician-sponsored investigational new drug applications. The results of departmental research endeavors are often published in peer-reviewed journals and presented at national meetings

Representatives of the Pharmacy Department assist in furthering the Hospital’s research mission through active participation in the:

    Institutional Review Board. Several members of the pharmacy’s professional staff are active members of the University's Institutional Review Board, which reviews and approves all clinical research protocols.

    Investigational Drug Service. The Department of Pharmacy has a well-established Investigational Drug Service (IDS) that participates in numerous inpatient and outpatient research protocols. The IDS reviews all inpatient investigational drug protocols and assists with patient enrollment, staff education and maintenance of study records, including protocol budgets. The IDS must maintain all investigational drug records in accordance with FDA regulations as well as with the policies and procedures of the Institutional Review Board.
