Guidance for Research During COVID-19

At The Ohio State University, the CCTS and The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, we’re continually monitoring and updating our response to the COVID-19 virus.

We continue to align our recommendations with and follow guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the World Health Organization and other city, state and federal agencies.

To that end, the Office of Research at the Ohio State University and the National Institutes of Health have both released guidance related to research during the COVID-19 outbreak.

Sarcoma Awareness Month

July is Sarcoma Awareness Month and the Blue Buffalo Veterinary Clinical Trials Office wants to pay tribute to the families of some of our Pet Heroes who chose to enroll their pets in clinical trials for dogs with sarcoma.
 
Knowledge gained from these trials was used to design better treatments for both pets and humans.Thank you to all of them for helping advance science and impacting countless human patients!

Looking for Study Visibility?

StudySearch   was created to enhance visibility and participation in research studies conducted throughout OSU and NCH. With approximately 30,000 site visits in the past year, it provides an easy way for potential study participants to find basic, descriptive information about openly recruiting research studies and trials and provides them with contact information to learn more.
 
Researchers with an IRB approved study that are currently seeking volunteers can follow these directions   to  submit a study   within StudySearch to ensure their study is listed on StudySearch. No additional IRB oversight is necessary to list your study. 
 
 
Nationwide Children’s Researchers click here to submit a study.
