The primary purpose of the MCRU (formerly GCRC) is to provide the resources and infrastructure necessary to conduct participant oriented clinical research protocols at the University of Michigan.

MCRU Hours of Operation:
The Cardiovascular Center (CVC) extended stay unit is open 16/5 (8 am-12 midnight) Monday through Friday and on an as needed basis for extended stays.

Dominos Farms operates Monday through Friday from 8am -4:30 pm. Burlington Office Center and Rachel Upjohn Building sites are open twenty hours per week.

Publishing Study Results: It is important that all publications resulting from studies conducted using the former GCRC resources credit the GCRC Grant #M01-RR000042. Studies using the MCRU must cite the CTSA grant# UL1RR024986. The NIH searches for publications by grant recognition, and our future resources will be tied to the number of publications referencing our grant number.
