The Scientific and Data Coordinating Center at Penn receives data and provides ongoing support for a number of Ancillary Studies supported by the CRIC Cohort utilizing both CRIC study participants and biological samples obtained from CRIC study participants. Through the CRIC data sharing policy, investigators have an opportunity to tap into the rich CRIC data to pursue their own research goals.

In addition to the CRIC Clinical Centers listed on the Participating Institutions page, collaborative research partnerships are currently conducted at a number of institutions across the country including, but not limited to, University of Utah, University of Miami, University of North Carolina, George Washington University, University of Alabama, as well as at international sites in China, Japan, Peru, and Germany 

A selection of CRIC Ancillary Studies managed by the CRCU appears below:

The art and science of asking questions is the source of all knowledge.

There is no medicine like hope, no incentive so great and no tonic so powerful as expectations of something better than tomorrow.

Every great advance in science has issued from a new audacity of the imagination.
