A clinical trial is a research study that seeks to improve upon the currently used best-known treatment. It is done to see if a new treatment is safe and if it works better in treating cancer than the current approach. Clinical trials take place in a clinic or hospital. Most children diagnosed with cancer who are eligible and provide consent to take part, are treated on a clinical trial. If your child participates in a clinical trial, he or she receives certain treatment interventions and are monitored closely over time following treatment.

Monthly discussion group that reviews a research publication of interest to current PIs, including a review of its methodology and conclusions.

Children’s Minnesota Research Institute plays an integral role in transforming clinical research into  real-world therapies that prevent and treat childhood illness and improve the quality of children’s daily lives.  CMRI’s programs and services help ensure that researchers throughout Children’s have the means and the opportunity to conduct safe, efficient, and ethical research involving children.  CMRI staff are also available to help investigators navigate all steps in the grant application and contract-initiation process, from concept development through award close-out.

The goal of the  Research Administration team is to ensure that investigators, research teams and externally funded projects understand the steps required to start a new clinical study, submit a grant or initiate a contractual relationship.
