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
