All clinical research is subject to billing and finance requirements

While clinical research billing and finance (CRBF) is frequently associated with industry-negotiated clinical trials, CRBF compliance applies to all research studies that include one or more prospective clinical services.  This session of the Clinical Research Seminar, sponsored by the BMC/BUMC Clinical Research Resources Office,  will focus on pre- and post-award CRBF requirements, including budgeting, billing, and NIH policy requirements related to patient care costs, as well as studies that have no external funding.

Register through the CRRO website.
