Investigator Support and Integration Services (ISIS): Program Description and Contacts

The mission of the Investigator Support and Integration Services (ISIS) program is to facilitate clinical and translational research, both at OHSU and KPCHR, by providing pre-award and regulatory services to investigators and by streamlining study startup and the conduct of administrative and compliance processes.  ISIS also encompasses a Research Ethics Program to offer services and education about ethical issues in research and to encourage research to address ethical issues in research.  ISIS also incorporates the Human Subjects Protection Program of the Clinical and Translational Research Center (CTRC).  OHSU's Clinical Trials Office works in partnership with ISIS and provides study start-up services and management of contracts for industry sponsored clinical trials.
