Services
The TRU staff is experienced in supporting a variety of therapeutic, observational, and interventional clinical studies. Their areas of expertise include immunotherapy studies; high-volume and/or serial, closely-spaced blood draws; and pharmacokinetic studies.
Some of the specific services offered by the TRU include:
- Nursing care, such as blood draws and placement of IVs
- Nursing observation and monitoring of vital signs
- Intravenous infusions
- EKG testing
- Use of room-only services with your own staff with access to TRU facilities, equipment, and nursing services (as needed)
Our registered nurses and study coordinators possess significant experience and expertise in clinical and translational research. They draw from this background as they support investigators and study teams in successfully navigating the different phases of research.

Inpatient Research Activity Support Program
On-call registered nurses from the ITHS TRU are available to travel to inpatient units at the UW Medical Center to complete needed clinical research activities. This service ensures that all research protocols can be accommodated during anticipated and unanticipated admissions while a participant is enrolled in a research study. There is no cost to request an estimate or register a study for this program, with charges only occurring when an ITHS nurse is actually deployed.
