Research Facilities and Capabilities
Advanced Clinical Trial Facility
A highly adaptable clinical and procedural environment combining specialized research space, advanced imaging, and infrastructure to support Phase I–IV clinical trials.
Bioskills of the Northeast (BONE) provides NECCR with access to a premier clinical research and procedural environment designed to support Phase I- IV clinical trials. BONE is strategically located within the Prima CARE medical complex, where approximately 180,000 patients are seen annually, providing access to a substantial and diverse patient population. The complex offers convenient access, ample on-site parking, and an easily accessible setting for patients, investigators, sponsors, and research teams.
Customizable Research Space
The facility offers flexible clinical and procedural space, advanced imaging capabilities, dedicated training and education areas, and the infrastructure necessary to accommodate complex research protocols. BONE’s capabilities allow NECCR and its research partners to bring investigators, sponsors, technology, and patients together within a highly adaptable environment.
From early-stage studies requiring specialized space and equipment to larger later-phase trials, BONE expands NECCR’s ability to support innovative clinical research while providing sponsors with the resources, accessibility, and flexibility needed to efficiently execute their studies.
Rapid Study Startup
Our dedicated infrastructure allows regulatory, contracting, feasibility and recruitment planning to progress in parallel.
NECCR averages approximately two weeks from protocol receipt to site readiness, depending on study requirements.
Our startup process includes:
- Rapid protocol and feasibility assessment
- Streamlined CDA, CTA and budget processes
- Central IRB submission and coordination
- Early patient database analysis and pre-screening
- Site Initiation Visit preparation
- Staff protocol training
- Patient recruitment planning and activation
A Longitudinal Patient Population of 200,000+
Dedicated Clinical Research Infrastructure
Specialized Teams Supporting Every Stage of the Trial
NECCR uses a specialized departmental model rather than requiring individual coordinators to manage every administrative and clinical function.
This allows each team to focus on its area of expertise while working together throughout the study lifecycle.
Regulatory
Dedicated regulatory specialists coordinate essential study documentation, Central IRB submissions, financial disclosures, Form FDA 1572 documentation and ongoing regulatory requirements.
Patient Recruitment
Dedicated recruiters focus on patient identification, pre-screening, outreach and enrollment support using both data-driven and community-based recruitment strategies.
Research Coordination
Clinical research coordinators focus on protocol execution, patient visits, safety monitoring, data entry and timely EDC query resolution.
