The Center for Human Phenomic Science (CHPS) has multiple locations. The protocols cover a wide variety of research areas. The CHPS services over 1200 inpatients and over 6000 outpatients a year. Research participants range from premature infants to the elderly.
CHPS is staffed by experienced, qualified direct care clinical research nurses for inpatient, outpatient and scattersite activities. All nurses at the CHPS unit maintain the following certifications: Chemo/Biotherapy by the Oncology Nursing Certification Corporation, ACLS and BLS by the American Heart Association, Biomedical Research and Good Clinical Practice, and Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI). The nurses and technicians implement a wide variety of research protocols in collaboration with principal investigators and clinical study teams. All studies require IRB and CHPS approval before CHPS services can be provided.
