Fee for service

In addition to PI’s housed in the HCRF conducting their independent research, the HCRF has been set up as a Human Clinical Core Service Center. TAMUS Principal Investigators and external research sponsors can work with HCRF staff to collect data for them on a fee-for-service basis typically by ESNL staff. Internal and external at-cost rates have been approved by the university for each of the services and capabilities offered by the HCRF.HCRF staff will work with the PI’s to obtain IRB approval and collect data for them in the HCRF. Once data are collected, the results are forwarded to the PI or external sponsor for their use. Costs for services performed are invoiced monthly until the project is complete.

PI’s interested in using the HCRF for their research and/or having HCRF staff collect data for them on their IRB-approved protocols on a fee-for-service basis should contact Dr. Kreider to obtain an estimate of costs for doing their projects. If there are other tests you are interested in having the HCRF perform that are not currently listed, contact Dr. Kreider to see if the HCRF has those capabilities and can obtain approval from the university for those services to be added to the list of services offered.
