The Administrative Office

The GCRC is a unique part of overlapping, complex institutions: the affiliated hospitals, the medical school, and the National Institutes of Health, NCRR M01 RR00096, GCRC Program. Deborah Keeling is the Administrative Director (AD) and works directly with the administrators of all institutions and serves as a liaison between them and the GCRC Advisory Committee. It is important that the administrative and nursing staffs be kept informed of any changes, developments and addenda in all protocols.

The AD plans and executes the administration of the General Clinical Research Center (GCRC). This includes planning, arranging, developing and monitoring the administrative and financial systems of the GCRC and its associated infrastructure. Areas of responsibility include institutional coordination, finance, grantsmanship and personnel.

The AD is one of the GCRC's primary resources in supporting the goals of the center. This is accomplished by overseeing the operations of the center and its primary function of research and patient care. The AD also works closely with the numerous departments of these institutions: Business Office, Human Resources, Purchasing, Grants and Contracts, and patient accounting.
