The Regulatory Support Center (RSC) is an expansion of the existing Center for Clinical Studies (CCS) and is a Washington University (WU) Institute of Clinical and Translational Sciences (ICTS) associated core. The RSC is designed to provide support for ICTS investigators in overcoming organizational barriers and navigating through the regulatory requirements for human research.

Core Description

The Regulatory Core provides regulatory services to ICTS investigators that span the life of the study ranging from protocol and consent development, preparation and maintenance of FDA drug and device applications (IND/IDE), initial and ongoing submissions to the IRB, creation of case report forms, monitoring services for investigator-initiated studies, assistance and guidance with regulatory or institutional audits and study closeout processes. This group has extensive regulatory experience with these processes and collaborative working relationships with other institutional offices that oversee human research. This Regulatory Core staff will interact with the PI, FDA, sponsor (if not WU), reviewing committee(s), coordinators and other regulatory specialists, to optimally facilitate approvals.
