The Clinical Research Unit is funded by a prestigious NIH Clinical Translational Science Award, in partnership with Georgetown University. Located in Howard University Hospital, the 5200 square foot facility includes three rooms with hospital beds and 24-hour nursing coverage. This unit serves as the site of most clinical or human subject research activities at Howard University. CRU nurses provide phlebotomy services, biological sample collection, survey administration, overnight sleep studies and metabolic assessments, as needed.
