The mission of the Clinical Research Center is to promote and advance clinical research in musculoskeletal (MSK) disorders by mitigating data collection barriers to better understand prevention, diagnosis, treatment and cure for all individuals. The overall goal is to provide the infrastructure and training needed to enhance clinical and translational research in MSK disorders. Through the use of state-of-the-art technologies, we can help you connect phenotypes to comprehensively evaluated factors that contribute to poor MSK health. Our team can help navigate funding opportunities, protocol design, pilot data and more so that more attention can be turned to the science!
The Clinical Research Center serves as the cornerstone for human subjects research conducted in the Indiana Center for Musculoskeletal Health (ICMH) and receives funding through a P30 grant from NIH NIAMS. This team consists of a resource core (FIT Core), data core (MIM Core), and administrative core, providing feasible opportunities to examine longitudinal or cross-sectional data.
