Planning and implementing a multisite clinical study can be challenging because site management, quality control, monitoring, data collection, and data management need to be coordinated across all study locations. Through our Center for Multisite Clinical Studies, NYU Langone has an impressive record of effectively developing, launching, and managing multisite studies, both nationally and internationally.

Coordinating Center Responsibilities

Coordinating centers oversee design and development of study protocol(s), manage research operations, and support administrative requirements (e.g., reporting to regulatory agencies). They also often provide specialized services essential for study execution:

• Clinical Coordinating Centers (CCCs): provide clinical operations and coordination (e.g., identify new sites, develop protocol training materials, and maintain regulatory documents)
• Data Coordinating Centers (DCCs): provide computerized systems to collect, manage, monitor, report, and store study data
• Statistical Coordinating Centers (SCCs): lead study design, provide statistical support, and prepare study-related materials for data safety and monitoring committees (DSMBs)

Data and statistical support are often interdependent and may be provided via a combined Statistics and Data Coordinating Center (SDCC).

In addition to the basic types above, NYU Langone also features research support through its scientific cores:

• Center for Biospecimen Research and Development: supports access to biospecimen resources and institution-wide tissue-banking efforts
• DataCore: provides enterprise-level support of electronic data capture and storage, management and integrity, and extraction and sharing
• Biostatistics Resource: works with investigators at every stage of the research process to generate hypotheses, design studies, conduct analyses, interpret results, and produce scholarship
