The General Clinical Research Center at Penn State

Our primary mission is to provide research infrastructure for investigators who conduct research with human subjects. Investigations carried out can include studies of normal and abnormal human function and studies of cause, prevention, progression, and cure of diseases.

Investigators from across Penn State, without regard to college or campus, are welcome to use the GCRC.

The GCRC at University Park, partners with the GCRC at the Hershey Medical Center, and studies can often be conducted at both sites.

In 2010, the GCRC is transitioning to become part of the Penn State Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute.
