Research-administration standards for academic medical centres
Academic Medical Centres (AMCs) integrate clinical care, education, and research — a uniquely complex research-administration environment. AMC researchers navigate NIH funding, IRB review, ACGME-aligned trainee attribution, clinical-trial registration, and CRediT-aware publication conventions all at once. CASRAI standards provide the shared vocabulary to thread these together.
AAMC: 158 US AMCs + 800+ teaching hospitals
What this sector cares about
Key research-administration concerns
- Resident / fellow / trainee CRediT attribution under ACGME milestones
- Multi-PI grant attribution patterns (NIH MPI policy)
- IRB / REC documentation and disclosure
- Conflict-of-interest disclosure (PHS, ICMJE, AAMC FCOI)
- Patient and public involvement (PPI) attribution
- Patient-identifying data governance (HIPAA + GDPR)
Academic medical centres sit at the junction of clinical care and publication, where editorial venues like the International Health Journal and condition-specific evidence such as work on cognitive ageing research depend on the author-contribution discipline CASRAI standardises.
