What are support letters and how do I obtain them?
If the Pharmacy will handle any study materials, CMRC requires a letter from the Pharmacy Director agreeing to provide the necessary services. The primary e-mail address for the Investigational Pharmacy is researchpharm@childrensmemorial.org. The main phone number is 880-4653, and the hematology/oncology phone number is 755-4314. If the Laboratory will handle any specimens, CMRC requires a letter from the Laboratory Services Director agreeing to provide the necessary services. Please contact Terry Nguyen at TeNguyen@childrensmemorial.org or 880-4773. If you will use Medical Imaging (e.g. x-rays, scans) in the project, you must attach a copy of the support letter from Medical Imaging. Please see the Medical Imaging Research site for more information. If you will use radioisotopes in the project, you must attach a copy of the Radiation Safety Committee (RSC) approval letter. If the project uses ionizing radiation without direct clinical indication, this also requires RSC approval. Please
