Mobile Nurse Service
This program is dedicated to furthering research in the hospital, by providing a dedicated, well trained set of RN’s who will do the research part of the inpatient stay. It is planned that this will relieve the clinical nurses to care for the patients’ routine and clinical needs. Mobile staff are available for both UCLA hospitals and outpatient areas plus areas of campus within certain limitations.
For additional information, please contact the UCLA CTRC, 310-825-5225.
Nutrition Research Core
The mission of the CTRC Nutrition Research Core (NRC) is to provide specialized nutrition resources and services to CTSI investigators in the planning and implementation of studies with metabolic and nutritional considerations.
Nutrition research expertise and assistance are available for clinical research protocols that might be either studying the effects of nutrition or may need to control for nutrition.
The NRC supports a wide variety of research services for investigators requiring metabolic kitchen services and research dietitian expertise, including but not limited to:
- Consultation services in the planning stages of the nutrition component of protocol development, grant and manuscript preparation.
- Development of specialized diets in our own metabolic kitchen, with independent chemical analyses by outside laboratory available to verify accuracy of diets prepared.
- Meal services ranging from regular, unrestricted diets for study participants to individualized, metabolic balance diets providing exact nutrient precision. A fully equipped metabolic kitchen staffed with trained dietary staff is located in CHS.
- Dietary assessments, nutrition counseling and participant education.
- Customized nutrient analyses of diets using state of the art software, including Pronutra and Food Processor.
- Anthropometric measures and metabolic testing (measurement of resting energy expenditure by indirect calorimetry).
- A research training site for dietetic interns, graduate nutrition students, and post-doctoral individuals interested in human nutrition research.
Services are offered on a cost-sharing or cost-recovery basis.
