The purpose of the CRC is to provide the resources necessary to facilitate clinical research in a minority academic setting by expanding existing programs, nurturing new investigators, and encouraging full utilization of its services.  Our mission is to:

• Promote the advancement of clinical research and improve the health and welfare of disadvantaged and minority populations through participation in clinical studies.
  
  
• Promote an environment that encourages, stimulates, nurtures, and attracts clinical research by providing leadership and support for conducting clinical research.
