What is the Inova Research Center?

Based on a hub and spoke model, the Inova Research Center acts as the hub to the participating product line spokes. The Inova Research Center provides clinician-researchers with a variety of essential services to support their participation in inpatient and outpatient investigational studies. (See graph below)

Services include:

• Administrative and technical support in the conduct of inpatient and outpatient research trials
• Teaching and education for research personnel
• Research budgeting and contract management
• Technology transfer services

Our services permit clinicians to participate in investigational studies while maintaining demanding patient care and professional obligations.

Our efficient research management system increases the attractiveness of Inova Health System facilities to potential research sponsors. By serving as a single, readily accessible point of contact between research sponsors and investigators throughout the life of a study, we streamline and facilitate communication. This ensures JACHO compliance and meets FDA Good Clinical Practice guidelines. Research sponsors appreciate the unique advantage of Inova facilities as resource venues.

To maintain Inova's reputation as a first-class location for scientific research, we work closely with each investigator to support the scientific integrity of all projects.
