Research Concierge

Our Research Concierge service assists researchers who are navigating the process of starting a study. We address questions about registering your study with NYU Langone’s Office of Science and Research and submitting your study to the institutional review board (IRB) using MyStudies, a module within our Research Navigator program.

We also provide guidance on how to request other resources available through NYU School of Medicine, determine which funding mechanism is appropriate for your project, and secure referrals for study protocol development with experts at the Applied Bioinformatics Laboratories, Institute for Computational Medicine, Center for Healthcare Innovation and Delivery Science, Technology Ventures and Partnerships, and the appropriate regulatory and compliance committees.

Research Studio

We assist investigators interested in enhancing the quality of their research project, increasing their number of publications, and generating new hypotheses for research in Research Studio sessions. 

During these one- to two-hour sessions, we provide expert advice and feedback on your research protocols and grant applications to help you develop research projects that are collaborative and responsive to the sponsor.

To learn more about our Research Concierge, research consultation, and Research Studio services, contact Keith Brown, senior program coordinator, at Keith.Brown@NYULangone.org.

Clinical and Translational Research Ethics

The Clinical and Translational Research Ethics Consultation (CTREC) Program provides private consultations for NYU Grossman School of Medicine–affiliated faculty, residents, postdoctoral scholars, students, and staff to promote ethical research. Researchers may request a free consultation to address ethical issues that arise at any stage of research, including during study development, conduct, analysis, and publication.

Commonly discussed ethical topics include animal–human chimera or hybrid research, human embryonic stem cells, genetic research, research on vulnerable populations, research on stigmatizing conditions (for example, mental illness), and research on illegal activities (such as illicit substance use or sex work). We provide the following services:

  • Listening to and discussing questions, concerns, and complaints
  • Identifying and evaluating possible options
  • Explaining applicable NYU Grossman School of Medicine policies and procedures
  • Referral to appropriate individuals or NYU Langone offices or departments
  • Information gathering on an informal basis
  • Coaching for individuals and research teams to address ethical issues on their own

The CTREC Program is not intended to be a replacement for review and oversight by an institutional review board, data safety monitoring board, conflict of interest or compliance personnel, etc.
