User Guidelines

Currently, CCR, NIAID and DCEG receive support from the Clinical Support Laboratory.  Project scope is defined in consultation with the customer and cost estimates based on actual time and materials are provided for investigator review/approval before any project is initiated.  Support can be for research or enter at the early stages of clinical trial development to aid in developing a comprehensive strategy for immunological assays.  To request services from this NCI core facility, you must submit your requisition through NAS.
