Research Nurses

For studies that are administered through the Clinical Trials Unit (CTU) at USC, registered clinical/research nurses are available on-site through the CTU. Research nurses and nurse practitioners balance standard of care and protocol-specific requirements in order to provide and ensure the highest level of care.

CTU research nurses are chemotherapy certified, and are prepared to manage acute side effects and adverse events as required by our institution. 

• Flexibility: Departments can utilize our registered clinical/research nurses and phlebotomists on a study-to-study basis at the Clinical Trials Unit (CTU) at USC.
• High quality: Our highly-qualified team of nurses are chemotherapy certified and are prepared to manage adverse events. They are uniquely trained to carry out research protocols with an emphasis on efficiency, research quality, and patient safety.

CTU nursing hourly rates and clinical time fees are dependent upon the type of sponsored project and level of staff support needed. Please review the most current CTU Chargemaster prior to developing your project budget.
