CHPS Facilitator

The Center for Human Phenomic Science (CHPS) offers a facilitator service at no charge to assist in the implementation of clinical research studies within the CHPS. The Adult facilitators are Carl Shaw, M.Ed, MBE, and Theresa M. Scattergood, RN with leadership provided by associate program director, Michael Rickels, MD, MTR. The Pediatric facilitator is John Krall, LCSW.

We recommend working with a CHPS Facilitator to enhance the research design and to communicate details regarding CHPS resources and costs. For funded applications, a CHPS facilitator can meet with investigators and their coordinators to help obtain CHPS and IRB protocol approval. After approval, a CHPS facilitator can continue to work with the study team to assist in protocol initiation.
