The GCRC is available to the faculty, staff and students of the NYU Medical Center.

All research projects require approval by the New York University SOM Institutional Review Board, the GCRC Advisory Committee and the Research Review Committee(s) of the institution(s) where the study is to be conducted. The center resources are available only to investigators and their staff who are working on approved projects. The investigator must have hospital privileges at the institution in which he/she is working.
