CRO Mission

The Clinical Research Office designs, builds and coordinates the UNM Cancer Center’s clinical research portfolio.

The CRO:

  • prioritizes clinical trials by working with UNM Cancer Center Clinical Working Groups;
  • manages cancer clinical trials through the Protocol Review and Monitoring System and the Clinical Protocol and Data Management teams;
  • drives clinical research by acting as the hub for the state and working through the New Mexico Cancer Care Alliance, a statewide network that provides close-to-home clinical trials access to all New Mexicans; and
  • engages New Mexico’s communities through the Population Sciences Research Group to address disparities in access to cancer clinical trials.
