​Clinical Research Finance

Welcome to the University of Houston, Bauer College of Business 

Clinical Research Finance Education Program

The purpose of this certification is to prepare individuals for employment in the field of clinical research finance. Currently, there are resources available for healthcare and research administration professionals that cover limited aspects of clinical research finance. There isn’t, however, comprehensive educational sessions for professionals seeking to understand the financial aspects of clinical research. This certification program combines multiple sources of regulations and operational approaches melded together to provide the most relevant, and current information on the financial administration of clinical research studies. The use of case studies enables students to practice the concept(s) discussed during each session and will serve to reinforce the learning experiences.

​Potential Audience

Healthcare organizations that participate in clinical research and pharmaceutical companies seek to hire personnel who possess knowledge of the financial aspects of clinical research. The current pool of potential hires who possess this particular business acumen is slim. Oftentimes, the shortage of personnel with this expertise exposes research organizations to risks that include, but not limited to, non-compliance with federal and state regulations.

​When organizations hire personnel to fulfill the financial functions supporting a clinical research study, they typically spend three (3) to six (6) months educating and training these individuals. The lengthy training is due to the complexity associated with the financial operations of a clinical research study. This certification program seeks to close this knowledge gap and help prepare prospective clinical research finance professionals for a career in the field of clinical research.
