RABO PURPOSE AND SERVICES
Purpose
The Research Administration and Business Office (RABO) is a centralized research
office, created to assist investigators conducting research throughout The
MetroHealth System (MHS). In order to properly report all research activity,
and accurately document expenses used to compute the MHS indirect cost rate,
it is critical that all research activity be monitored and tracked. RABO governs
federal and private grant support, as well as industry sponsored clinical
studies. The office coordinates Institutional Review Board (IRB), legal and
accounting reviews of all projects, and facilitates budget formation and contracts.
Location
RABO and the IRB are located in the Rammelkamp Center for Education and Research,
Room R-104/R-103. The RABO main # is 216-778-8718. The IRB main # is 216-778-5459.
