Vasculitis Clinical Research Consortium (VCRC)

The Vasculitis Clinical Research Consortium is a multi-center collaborative infrastructure for clinical investigation in vasculitis. The principal investigator at each participating site, and his or her designated associates, will participate in a series of clinical research projects that may include observational cohort studies, clinical trials, and clinical epidemiology projects. The work includes enrollment of study subjects, data and biological specimen collections, administration of study medications, participation in research and logistical planning meetings and conference calls, manuscript preparation, and administrative tasks related to protocol approval and adherence, human subject protection, and financial oversight of the sub-contract grant.
