The opportunities for engaging in Research throughout the CORE system are many, and the opportunities for collaboration on a research project even greater. As a CORE faculty member, you have many options for conducting research; you may access the services of the CORE Research Office by acting as a research mentor. The act of adding a CORE student, intern, or resident onto your study opens the door to all the services of the CRO. In addition to the basic research services available to all research mentors through the CRO, your study may qualify for CRO research funding to offset some expenses. Another possible opportunity for you is the Research Challenge Program.

The CRO stands ready to assist you and your mentee(s) with idea development, refining the research question, research design and study methodology, literature review, IRB submission, data analysis, and editorial support from the research protocol to the final document to dissemination.

If you and your mentee(s) wish to pursue a case-based paper, the CORE editor will assist you as you prepare the case report.

The CRO will assist you and your mentee(s) as you seek publication for your finished manuscript, prepare posters for exhibitions and competitions, and refine your materials for oral presentations of your research findings. For poster exhibitions and oral presentations, you may apply for CRO funds to help defer the costs of travel and lodging.
