The Office of Clinical Trials Administration (OCTA) supports the conduct of clinical research for the University of Kansas Medical Center, including:

• Dedicated support from an OCTA Portfolio Manager
• Coordination of study activation processes
• Regulatory guidance and training
• Quality assurance support

Coordination with OCTA is required for all clinical trials and other studies required to use Velos, with the exception of studies supported by the KU Cancer Center Clinical Trials Office. All studies funded by industry or not-for-profit sponsors require a contract with the KU Medical Center Research Institute.
