March 15, 2022 Research Bulletin

Dear Research Colleagues, 

Due to staffing shortages within the clinical research contracting team, you are likely to experience delays in the reviewing and executing of CDAs, CTAs (except CHCO projects) and MTAs.   

We are looking to outsource where feasible, but we will be prioritizing to essential projects only until further notice. You will be asked to complete a feasibility survey for CTAs after you have completed the normal initial submission process. 

When you submit MTAs, it would be helpful if you can indicate any contingencies such as NIH funding to help with prioritization. 

Please only submit CDAs for projects that are of significant interest. 

We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your help as we manage the situation. 

Questions can be directed to researchadmincomm@cuanschutz.edu.
