Featured Research Program
The Cleveland Northeast Ohio VA Healthcare System (VANEOHS) Clinical Research Center opened in 2017 and is designed to enable clinical researchers to provide new treatments more efficiently to Veterans, leveraging Institutional and Foundation support to build a team of experienced coordinators, expand our role in CSP studies and provide education and mentoring to research staff to promote best practices and ensure the safety and well-being of our Veterans.
In 2022 we became part of the Network of Dedicated Enrollment Sites (NODES) which provides us with needed support for our CSP staff, allowing us to expand our involvement in the network of CSP sites. Our unique CRC set-up has allowed us to gain experience overseeing multi-site VA projects, build relationships with and mentor other VA sites, and contribute to Office of Research and Development (ORD) committees to further research. NODES participation allows us to further facilitate innovative approaches to streamlining study start-up, recruitment and retention initiatives and outreach to rural areas to provide access to novel treatments for our Veterans.
The CRC is currently engaged in 41 studies, 7 sponsored by the VA Cooperative Studies Program (CSP), with an additional 4 due to start over the next 6 months. We have experience as a Lead Site for 3 multi-center VA trials and participated in several COVID 19 trials during the pandemic, including the Pfizer vaccine trial. CRC staff have extensive experience with longitudinal trials in Endocrine and Cardiorenal research and robust programs in infectious disease and rehabilitation. Our participation in the VA Collaborative of the SWOG Cancer Research network has facilitated our NCI-IRB certification and has allowed us to expand oncology research and be recognized as a lead site for a VA multi-center lung cancer trial.

VAIRRS Updates and Tips
Good news! CITI training is now integrated with IRBNet, so users can link their IRBNet profiles to their CITI profiles. Once the link is established, the system will automatically import and accept the CITI training that you have completed at your location on a nightly basis.
The linking process only takes a few minutes to complete, and it is described in this document: IRBNet Notes - Link to CITI Account. Please complete this at your earliest convenience. All staff listed on a project will need to have linked their CITI profile in IRBNet before any new submissions can be approved for that project.
NOTE: If you’ve previously completed CITI training, DO NOT set up a new CITI account. Link your existing account so your training records transfer to IRBNet.
If you have questions, reach out to VHACLEVAIRRS@va.gov.
