VCC
Proud to provide comprehensive support for clinical discovery.
It’s our experience that sets us apart.
The Vanderbilt Coordinating Center (VCC) established in 1980 has reasserted its position as a leader in clinical trial development since 2016. VCC now serves as a CORE resource at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Under the leadership of co-Directors Jill Janssen and Jessica Collins, along with co-Medical Directors Drs. Evan Brittain, Sean Collins and Todd Rice, the VCC is staffed by a team of highly skilled and dedicated research professionals. This team is adept at tailoring services to meet the needs of clinical investigations, offering a flexible and collaborative approach to clinical trial support.
From creating unique project plans for the implementation of an investigator-initiated clinical trial, to start-up activities and local enrollment of Vanderbilt participants, you’ll find that the VCC is well-equipped to support investigators and collaborating teams through the lifecycle of your clinical trial.
Support from the VCC is a CORE service, and is best to engage early, prior to submitting a grant, industry proposal, or contract for budget negotiations.
