Office of Clinical and Community Trials
Clinical and community trials researchers at Stanley Manne Children’s Research Institute at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago translate the meaningful discoveries of basic science into promising clinical applications through evaluation of new diagnostic tests and drugs, behavioral treatments, and other interventions to determine their effects on pediatric health. Multidisciplinary teams of researchers collaborate to study complex childhood health issues in areas such as critical care, oncology, transplant medicine, and neonatology. Our research generates innovation in the diagnoses, treatment, and prevention of diseases and disorders in the pediatric population.
The Office of Clinical and Community Trials (OCCT) mission is to promote and facilitate excellence in pediatric clinical research. The OCCT provides centralized support and subject matter expertise in clinical research services, clinical research finance, and research operations and conduct.
