The process for getting trials approved by the unit is as follows. Investigators from Providence Health<br />
Care contact CHEOS to request services. The requests are then evaluated by the appropriate departments,<br />
for example, the Director of Operations, the Department Head of Statistics <strong>and</strong> Methodology,<br />
or the Manager of the <strong>Clinical</strong> Trial Support Unit. Once approved, CHEOS assists with the requested<br />
service, for example study start-up, database design, data management <strong>and</strong> statistical analysis for the<br />
entire study.<br />
Quality control/ assurance procedures are based on St<strong>and</strong>ard Operating Procedures compliant with<br />
Good <strong>Clinical</strong> Practice (GCP) guidelines. The unit also trains clinical trial personnel in clinical research<br />
procedures <strong>and</strong> GCP, <strong>and</strong> monitors local investigator-initiated clinical trials. CHEOS is a participant in the<br />
<strong>Clinical</strong> Research Professional Development (CRPD) team which has a curriculum of clinical research<br />
education for Lower Mainl<strong>and</strong> health centres. All projects are approved by the REB prior to initiation.<br />
