The office serves as the initial point of contact and primary coordinating office for clinical trials conducted at the University of Calgary, bringing together all expertise in one place: regulatory, financial, operational and more. The office also offers AHS Liaison services and quality assurance and regulatory compliance services.

The OnCore CTMS is a new system designed to enhance Alberta’s clinical trial infrastructure by increasing efficiencies in clinical trial management. The new system will enable improved study quality, budget management and regulatory compliance as a result of automated processes. The cloud-based solution, which is used by leading research institutions including Yale University, Duke University, and the Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Centre, offers key benefits to clinical trials

REBX streamlines ethics application process for multi-site research in Alberta. It’s a simple, easy-to-use tool,
built into the ethics application platform at your institution.

The BioCORE provides biobanking and bioanalysis support for researchers undertaking pediatric translational research projects at the University of Calgary and the Alberta Children’s Hospital. The BioCORE provides bioanalysis support, including immounoassays, and metabolic analysis.

The Hotchkiss Real-World Evidence (RWE) platform is a new virtual data platform established to assist HBI scientists with accessing, integrating, and analysing routinely collected health data, data from clinical registries, and external sources of data including surveys and population-based datasets. The key functions of the RWE initiative are to facilitate collaborations between investigators and stakeholders at HBI, UofC, Alberta and nationally, access to routinely collected healthcare data, linkage of investigator-collected data, or external data sources, and dataset creation and analysis.

The Calgary Brain Bank has been designed to assist scientists who study these diseases by providing them with human brain tissues from both disease states and normal aging.

The Alberta Research Centre for Health Evidence (ARCHE), located within the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Alberta, was established in 2000 to serve as a resource to individuals and groups interested in using evidence for decision making.

The PULSE Registry will be a database of patient-reported measures (e.g., symptoms, health-related quality of life) and linked electronic health records. This project will systematically collect data from patients at the point-of-care in Calgary Zone cardiac clinics and allow integration of the patient perspective into clinical decision-making and risk-stratification research.

Alberta Health Services has some of the most comprehensive electronic health information in the world with data stored across multiple, independent databases. We are working to integrate all of these data sources into a single “super” database in which researchers can efficiently access all of the variables they need to answer research questions and advance care.

The is a shared resource centre within the Libin Cardiovascular Institute that manages health data, provides biostatistical and analytical consultation and translates information into knowledge for action. Its mandate is to improve and enhance the quality of research conducted within the institute and increase investigators’s productivity. Its services are available to faculty, staff, and students of the Libin Institute.
