Clinical Research Key Points (CRKP) Summary and Sensitive Study Information
The Clinical Research Key Points provides 24-hour emergency contact information for the study team to ensure patient safety. It also contains clinically relevant research information for our healthcare partners providing clinical care to our patients/research subjects. The CRKP specifies to EHC Nursing their specific responsibilities/requirements within the context of the clinical trial/research as well as providing access to additional details about the research if needed.
Study teams should submit the Clinical Research Key Points (CRKP) to the Office for Clinical Research (OCR) via the OCR Clinical Research eForm, found on the OCR website, for all clinical trials, including studies reviewed by WCG IRB.
The CRKP consolidates three previously separate forms:
- Clinical Research Key Points
- OoQ Clinical Research Readiness Checklist
- EHC Nursing Clinical Research Preparedness Checklist
Clinical Research Coordinators (CRC) will continue to submit the EML and Radiology Checklists, if applicable, directly to the OoQ. CRCs no longer have to obtain signatures from EML or Radiology prior to submission. EML and Radiology will sign approvals electronically.

- Request for Sensitive Study Status Worksheet (DOCX) - to be placed in eIRB
Clinical Trial Tools
These tools were created in cooperation with the Clinical Trials Audit and Compliance Office (CTAC) and the Emory Office of Compliance for use by Investigators and their study teams. These are optional templates and may be freely modified to meet the needs of individual departments or trials. Find these tools posted on the Clinical Trials Audit and Compliance page.
