In 2010, Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) was granted a Clinical and Translational Science Award which prompted reorganization and expansion of their clinical research infrastructure. A case study approach is used to describe the implementation of a business and cost recovery model for clinical and translational research and the transformation of VCU's General Clinical Research Center and Clinical Trials Office to a combined Clinical Research Services entity. We outline the use of a Plan, Do, Study, Act cycle that facilitated a thoughtful transition process, which included the identification of required changes and cost recovery processes for implementation. Through this process, the VCU Center for Clinical and Translational Research improved efficiency, increased revenue recovered, reduced costs, and brought a high level of fiscal responsibility through financial reporting.
2010 年，弗吉尼亚联邦大学（VCU）获得了一项临床与转化科学奖，这促使他们对临床研究基础设施进行了重组和扩展。本案例研究旨在描述临床和转化研究的业务和成本回收模式的实施情况，以及将 VCU 综合临床研究中心和临床试验办公室转变为一个联合临床研究服务实体的过程。我们概述了使用计划-执行-研究-行动循环的方法，该方法促进了一个深思熟虑的过渡过程，包括确定所需的变革和实施成本回收流程。通过这一过程，VCU 临床与转化研究中心提高了效率，增加了收回的收入，降低了成本，并通过财务报告实现了高水平的财务责任。
