Clinical Trial Agreements

All clinical trial research agreements must be forwarded for review by Covenant Health Legal Council.  Legal Council will review all agreements and provide a written acknowledgement to the Principal Investigator / Research Coordinator when approval to proceed with execution of the contract is confirmed.

Please note that the Edmonton General Continuing Care Centre, the Grey Nuns Community Hospital, the Misericordia Community Hospital and any other Covenant Health sites involved must be referred to by their legal name, Covenant Health, in all contracts.

Any questions regarding Covenant Health Clinical Trial Agreements can be directed to research@covenanthealth.ca

 

Overhead

In keeping with standards used by most organizations across Canada, industry-sponsored clinical research conducted within a Covenant Health facility is charged 30% overhead. Ten percent will be returned to the Principal Investigator upon completion of the clinical trial. The Principal Investigator is responsible for submitting a request for the 10% rebate to the Covenant Health Research Centre upon completion of the clinical trial.

Investigator-initiated clinical research sponsored by industry is charged 15% overhead.

Investigators can request a reduction of the overhead rate by submitting a written letter of request to the CHRC.

 

Research Training

Covenant Health, through membership in the Network of Networks (N2) is able to offer on-line research training with Collaborative Institutional Training Institute (CITI) (i.e. Good Clinical Practice) to all Covenant Health staff, physicians and volunteers who require courses.  Many of these courses meet sponsor requirements and are accepted for clinical trial administration.  Learn more.

 

Covenant Health would like to acknowledge that what we refer to as Alberta is the traditional ancestral territory of a diversity of Indigenous peoples and home to Treaty 6, 7, and 8. We honor the Blackfoot Confederacy – Kainai, Piikani, and Siksika, the Cree, Dene, Saulteaux, Nakota Sioux, Stoney Nakoda, the Tsuu T’ina Nation and the Métis People of Alberta. This includes the Métis Settlements and the Six Regions of the Métis Nation of Alberta within the historical Northwest Métis Homeland. We recognize and give thanks to the many First Nations, Métis and Inuit who have lived in and cared for these lands for generations, all who continue to grace these lands, and all future generations. We are grateful for the traditional Knowledge Keepers and Elders who are still with us today and those who have gone before us. We make this acknowledgement as an act of reconciliation and gratitude to those whose territory we reside on or are visiting.
